Labour Law

The relation that each company has with its employees is critical to the success of any business.

You can have the best intentions, to have a fair and equitable work environment, and yet your company can still be sued because there is always a possibility that unintentionally violate the The Labour Law and other laws and secondary legislation that apply in Republic of Serbia, to make procedural error or to make an act containing a formal defect or simply to deal with unfounded claims and accusations.

Your company and the person responsible may then be faced with a civil action, criminal or misdemeanour charges, labour unions, labour inspections, the Ombudsman and other bodies and organizations that take care of  workers' rights.

All of them are looking for errors, and any mistake can be costly to your company, not only in terms of compensation, costs or proceedings and fines, but also in terms of time and effort that you will have to invest in solving the problem.
