Abstract : Abstract - The ever-decreasing unemployment rate in the Czech Republic is contributing to economic growth and supporting various groups of people in the labour market who would be less likely to find themselves in a shortage of jobs, but it is already a fact that peopleactively looking for jobs have already found them. Therefore, with 358 152 t. (thousand) vacancies on the labour market and 252 995 t. job seekers, some jobs cannot be filled. However, it is not impossible to fill them if we look at the number of people with disabilities (425 788 t.). It can be seen that at least some of the persons with disabilities who are able to work could be an opportunity for companies to fill long-term vacancies. According to recent articles (especially in the mass media), companies in the Czech environment are continuously increasing the number of workers with disabilities for many specific reasons [2]. The state provides companies actively employing workers with disabilities relief on health insurance contributions, financial support for the previous quarter when employing a worker with disabilities on a full-time or part-time basis. Czech and foreign non-profit organizations dealing with disabilities also offer many other benefits to these companies. The aim of the research is to map the development of support for companies employing workers with disabilities, to reveal which factors affect the profit of organizations (e.g. minimum wage growth and the social policy of the Czech Republic) and also to prepare the ground for further research, when a methodology for determining the economic benefits of employing people with disabilities in companies in the Czech environment will be proposed. Keywords - People with Disabilities, Social Policy, Disability, Income
