Law on Employment of Seasonal Workers adopted

The National Assembly of Serbia today adopted the Law on Employment of Seasonal Workers, which should improve the position of seasonal workers and simplify their registration through an electronic platform.

The law defines the jobs on which seasonal workers can be employed in the sectors of agriculture, forestry and fisheries.

Also the law proscribes that an employer may hire a seasonal worker for up to 180 days within a calendar year, whereby the worker has the right to the pension and disability insurance, as well as health insurance in case of workplace injury and work-related diseases, for the duration of their employment.

Wages are calculated and paid per work hour in the amount not lower than the proscribed minimum wage.

The new law proscribes that a worker is not removed from the register of the unemployed while being hired on a seasonal job, nor is the payment of the temporary unemployment compensation by the National Employment Service stopped.
