Employment

The Labour Relations Act with a statutory minimum wage

Reviewed· 2026-08-02

The Labour Relations Act governs individual and collective employment, listing grounds for termination and prescribing notice. A statutory minimum wage is set by law and adjusted by formula.

Key rules

  • Termination requires a justified personal, conduct or business reason with written reasons.
  • The minimum wage is set by statute and indexed annually to wages and prices.
  • Collective agreements at branch level supplement the statutory minimums.

Governing law

  • Labour Relations Act (Zakon za rabotnite odnosi)
  • Minimum Wage Act

In practice

The minimum wage is indexed by formula rather than negotiated each year, so increases are largely automatic.
