LABOR LAW

Considering that the founder of this law office for labor law, lawyer Ivan Ječmenica, studied labor law intensively during his post-graduate studies, this law office shows great affinity towards this field . After successfully completing his postgraduate studies and defending his master’s thesis on the topic “Annex to the employment contract” , lawyer Ivan Ječmenica got the opportunity to apply his theoretical knowledge in practice, when solving labor disputes entrusted to him by our clients.

Labor law is a legal field that regulates the relations between two, by inertia, opposing socio-economic factors: employees and employers . The road to the development of labor law was thorny, and centuries had to pass until the importance of labor law regulation was recognized. Labor law represents a kind of compromise between the interest in profit maximization, which is the agenda of employers, and the interest in ensuring dignified and humane working conditions, which is the agenda of employees.

The basis of labor law in Serbia is the Labor Law . Its importance stems from the fact that it guarantees minimum employee rights and minimum working conditions . Therefore, other legal acts from the domain of labor law, such as: employment contract, labor regulations or collective labor agreement, cannot provide for lesser rights and less favorable working conditions for employees compared to those rights and working conditions prescribed by the Labor Law. In labor law, this principle is called the principle of the greatest advantage , and as a legal consequence it has the nullity of those provisions of the labor contract, labor regulations or collective agreement, which are in conflict with the Labor Law.

Labor law is certainly the most vital and everyday branch of law , with which fellow citizens constantly encounter. There is almost no individual who is not concerned with labor law topics such as the amount of salary, duration of annual leave , occupational safety, paid leave from work, dismissal, transfer and numerous others. Decisions originating from the domain of labor law are significant and far-reaching to the extent that they affect the existence of every person and have the ability to change life from the roots. Here, we are particularly referring to the issues of termination of the employment contract, transfer to another place of work, abuse at work and non-payment of wages .

If you believe that you have been fired illegally , and that what is being charged against you is not true, it is best to contact an employment law law firm to get legal advice regarding your legal problem. Given that labor disputes are initiated in a short period of time, which cannot be longer than 60 days from the date of delivery of the decision on dismissal, we advise you not to hesitate and to contact a law office for labor law as soon as possible and prevent the loss of the right to sue . This is all the sooner, because there is a possibility that you will be temporarily returned to work based on the decision of the Labor Inspection, so you do not always have to wait for the end of the labor dispute.
