Employment
The Labour Relations Act with a statutory minimum wage
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.
