Job vacancies at an employer are jobs which are newly established or became vacant, or jobs expected to become vacant in the near future (within 3 months), for which employers had already taken active steps to fill as soon as possible. Posts to be filled only by subcontractors, labour force lending, casual work assignment or internal transfer of existing employees, unpaid apprentices or public workers are not considered as job vacancies. Furthermore, posts reserved for those who are in employment relationship, but are not obliged to work are neither considered job vacancies. Data refer to enterprises employing at least 5 persons, all budgetary institutions and non-profit organisations that are important in respect of employment.
