STD Donivo a.s. appears to systematically engage in recruitment deception, promising drivers €60-62 per day during interviews but then switching to per-kilometer and hourly pay structures upon hiring (€0.10/km plus €2.70-3.50/hour conditional on monthly thresholds). Drivers report extremely low take-home pay (€2,000-2,500 monthly after expenses), unpaid loading/unloading time, and pressure to work excessive hours (90+ hours weekly) while violating traffic regulations. The company maintains multiple bases (Zvolen, Senec, others) with varying pay systems, creating inconsistency. High staff turnover is evident, with approximately 60% of Ukrainian workers quitting within months. However, the company does recruit inexperienced drivers and offers social benefits to those who stay. Common routes span Germany, Netherlands, and Italy from Ukrainian bases. Management communication relies on threats (wage cuts, poor freight assignments) to enforce compliance with illegal working hours.
