What actually means open work permit or Živno (Živnostensky List) ?

 If you have a open work permit (zivno) its bring more benefits to you. Keep in mind this one:

Having employees is expensive business. The total costs for the employer are almost twice of what an employee gets on your bank account. Besides that, many times companies do not want extra employees, or are just looking for temporary workforce and prefer to 'out-source'.

If the employing company is located outside of Czech Republic and the employee is located in Czech Republic (or the other way around), an employment contract becomes even more complicated (more expensive).

Getting a re  is a long and complicated process, especially if the person has no visa yet or is not living in Czech Republic. Most employers are not looking forward to dealing with the Labor Office.

Therefore, for an employer there are benefits in paying someone on freelance-basis, as external worker on a trade license.

 Benefits using a open work permit (trade licence - zivno):

• deduct more costs (in most cases 60% of the revenue),
• pay less social / health charges * and income taxes (on only 60% of the revenue),
• you can have a zivnostensky list and be a normal employee at the same time,
• a "zivno" can be put on hold - no social / health charges then,
• when you lose your job, your Visa does not expire right away as with Visas for employment,
• a sense of freedom.

Instead of a zivnostensky list also an s.r.o. could be used, but for 'employment purposes' a open work permit (zivno) is sufficient if the job doesn't have the character of permanent employment and you are able to get more than one employer.
