The topic of this diploma thesis is the illegal work and its persecution, whereas the main goal is to point out and analyze the most important institutes relating to the illegal work, to identify the relevant legislation and to point out problematic issues of the regulation and its application. The text is systematically divided into three main chapters, in particular the field of dependent work, illegal work and finally the sanctioning of illegal work. The introductory chapter of this thesis deals with dependent work, the definition of which is a necessary condition for further interpretation of illegal work and its persecution. After a brief introduction to the legislative history and the legal definition of this term, the particular characteristics of the legal definition and, subsequently, the conditions of performance of dependent work are discussed. Further, the case law of the Supreme Administrative Court and the related additional characteristics of the dependent work which the court has defined beyond the legal definition are mentioned. The second chapter finally deals with the main topic of the thesis which is the illegal work. After defining the legal definition of illegal work and a short reminder of its legislative development, the further text is divided according to the different...

This paper Illicit work in the Czech Republic analyse the reason why this type of labour market comes into being and it's causes and consequential effects. It contains a definition of the illicit work, clarification of the typical characteristics of this type of labour market.

In conslusion this paper shows not only teoretical solution of illictic work but also current activity which are being done in the Czech Republic at the moment.

This dissertation is a study of the construction of the ‘illegality’ of migration in the Central Mediterranean region from the mid-twentieth century to the present across genres, disciplines and media. Reading a heterogenous set of sources ranging from film to poetry and from parliamentary debates to legal opinions, this dissertation posits the ‘illegality’ of human mobility as a process and not an ontological trait, demonstrating its fluidity and tracking some of its most salient changes over time. Moreover, it argues that these notions of ‘illegality,’ which developed and are interrogated in legal discourse and aesthetic practices, are significantly altered as they circulate across linguistic boundaries even though they continue to be understood as stable and neutral labels. They form a grammar of illegalization the contested semantics of which are simultaneously national and transnational. This dissertation finally suggests that we understand the illegalization of migration as a multilingual object that is written and constructed across multiple discourses and disciplines, and asks that we tend to its grammar as a way to denaturalize and, eventually, attempt to rewrite the ‘illegality’ of human mobility.

The financial link in the process of illegal immigration is a little researched domain in the literature. This research is the first exploratory study to examine the role of Chinese-operated informal fund transfer systems in the U.S. in the lives of Chinese illegal migrant workers and their families who remained in China. The primary source of data was in-depth interviews with thirty illegal immigrants in New York City and Philadelphia. The findings show that the emergence of underground banks in the U.S. coincided with the largest waves of Chinese illegal immigrants smuggled into the U.S. since the later 1980s. They served as a preferred means of fund transfer among Chinese illegals due to their unique service, not necessarily because of the clients' illegal status, or any coercive actions by human smuggling groups. Through inductive analysis based on the narrative data, this research is able to trace the trajectory of the evolution of Chinese underground banks over the past decades. The evidence seems to suggest an indirect role played by these illegal fund transfer systems in sustaining transnational illegal labor migration achieved through human smuggling. The research also suggests a declining importance of underground banks and a shift away from their use toward legitimate fund transfer channels among Chinese illegal immigrants since the mid-1990s and a seemingly new role of formal institutions in filling in the vacancy left by underground banks. Finally, the findings suggest that underground banks may have been forced to and have adapted to a narrower and more illicit use. / Criminal Justice
