The tax and such a department recalls: seasonal work should be official
The best time to hire for seasonal work falls on the end of spring and early summer. The tax and such department (NTD) recalls that there is no free trial days and an employee hired for the season should also be registered in the register of labor relations.
NTD wants to make sure that all seasonal workers are registered and receive honest wages. The NTD will check in the starting spring-summer period of persons offering seasonal work throughout Estonia (for example, at open-air events, food festivals, as well as in those sectors where seasonal work is most offered).
The leading specialist of the income tax department, the aun, Maria Maryapuu recalls persons offering seasonal work that all their employees deserve to be honest wages with whom labor taxes are paid. “True tax accounting guarantees the protection of the rights of the employee and gives him confidence in the future. The payment of wages in envelopes in full or partially (both in cash and to the bank account) deprives the employee of the rights/benefits that he deserves. Cases of payments of salaries in envelopes and the problems of unofficial part -time work are under the close attention of the NTD during seasonal work, first of all, to protect the employees themselves, ”she said.
Often, at the beginning of seasonal work, it is proposed to work on a free trial day. Such an offer is unprofitable for the employee and prohibited for the employer.

“As soon as you start working for someone, for example, serving customers or laying out goods by shelves, this is already considered a job for which it is necessary to receive payment,” said Maria Mariapuu, a leading specialist in the income tax department. She added that the service for trial work is provided only by means of unemployment box office and lasts one day; It is this form that is a legal opportunity for familiarization with new work.
NTD recommends seasonal employees to make sure that they are registered in the labor relations register. “This can be easily checked among E-MTA electronic services, choosing“ my employment ”. You will see your data on the current place of work in the window that opened. When you press the number of a specific record, a window opens in which you can check all the data related to this workplace (starting work, its variety, working time rate, position, address, etc.). It is important to double -check so that the data displayed in the window correspond to reality. If this is not so, then feel free to tell your employer about this, who can correct the data, ”said Maria Mariapuu, a leading specialist in the income tax department
The NTD will summarize its inspections after the hot period of seasonal work in order to increase the awareness of employees and employers, as well as prevent possible problems in the future.
The reasons why should refuse to receive a salary in the envelope are named on the NTD website.
