Employment
The Labour Code with justified dismissal and a statutory minimum wage
The Labour Code governs individual and collective employment relations, requiring a justified reason and a procedure for dismissal. The minimum wage is set by government decision and has risen substantially.
Key rules
- Dismissal requires a justified reason and observance of a formal notice procedure.
- The minimum wage is set by decision of the Council of Ministers.
- Fixed-term contracts become indefinite after a maximum cumulative duration.
Governing law
- Labour Code (Kodi i Punës)
- Act on Occupational Safety and Health
In practice
Failing to follow the prescribed pre-dismissal meeting procedure makes the termination unlawful even where the substantive reason is sound.
