[Croatia] Chamber of Commerce head calls for more flexible labour legislation
30 Sep 2020

On September 28, Croatian Chamber of Commerce (HGK) head Luka Burilovic said Croatia is in need of more flexible labour legislation with an emphasis on teleworking and the option of laying off workers more easily than under present labour law. Better practices for organising remote working and more flexible employment contracts are both matters which will be regulated by the new legislation.

Labour Minister Josip Aladrovic was joined by 35 Croatian business leaders to present their views on the need for change at a meeting in Zagreb organised by the HGK. They also expressed their wish for issues like government support for the business sector during the pandemic, a non-working Sunday, and the minimum wage for next year - which should be determined by the end of October - to be discussed. Total Croatia News reports Mr Burilovic’s comments and other calls for change.
