PL

Celem opracowania jest ustalenie zmian zachodzących w zatrudnieniu osób z niepełnosprawnością w okresie pandemii i skuteczności funkcjonowania systemu kar finansowych dla pracodawców w przypadku niewywiązywania się z ustawowych obowiązków zatrudniania osób z niepełnosprawnością jako stymulanty zatrudnienia takich osób. Zakres czasowy badań ustalono na lata 2017-2021 oraz pierwsze półrocze 2022 roku. W artykule zastosowano następujące metody badawcze o charakterze ogólnym: metodę analizy i krytyki piśmiennictwa źródłowego, metodę indukcyjną i dedukcyjną oraz analizę i syntezę. Ponadto zastosowano też metody szczegółowe: opisową, monograficzną oraz badania dokumentów. Hipoteza badawcza: nakładane na pracodawców kary finansowe z tytułu niezatrudniania wymaganego ustawowo odsetka osób z niepełnosprawnością były bardziej skuteczne w zakresie stymulowania pracodawców do poprawy wskaźnika zatrudnienia OzN w okresie pandemii COVID-19 niż przed jej wybuchem. W świetle przeprowadzonych badań i studiów literaturowych dostrzeżono skuteczność kar jako stymulanty do zatrudnienia osób z niepełnosprawnością w szczególnie trudnych warunkach makroekonomicznych.

The aim of the study is to determine the changes in the employment of people with disabilities during the pandemic and the effectiveness of the system of financial penalties for employers in the event of failure to comply with the statutory obligations to employ people with disabilities as incentives to employ such people. The following research methods of a general nature were used in the article: the method of analysis and criticism of source literature, the inductive and deductive method, as well as analysis and synthesis. In addition, detailed methods were also used: descriptive, monographic and document research. Research hypothesis: financial penalties imposed on employers for not employing the percentage of disabled people required by law were more eefctive in stimulating employers to improve the employment rate of people with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic than before its outbreak. In the light of the conducted research and literature studies, the eefctiveness of penalties as a to employ people with disabilities in particularly dificult macroeconomic conditions was noticed.
