Labor Law

Labor law regulates relationships between employers and employees – from the conclusion of employment contracts to termination. This area of law covers a wide range of topics, including rights and obligations of employees and employers, workplace safety, wages, working hours, breaks, and protection against discrimination or workplace harassment. Whether you’re an employee whose rights have been violated or an employer who wants to comply with the law, professional legal assistance is crucial to protect your interests.

Our team in Novi Sad provides legal support in all aspects of labor law. We believe that fair and lawful employment relationships are the foundation of successful business operations and satisfied employees. That’s why we represent clients with great care, whether in an advisory role or in court representation.

When to Seek Help from a Labor Law Attorney?

Here are several typical situations where our labor law attorney has helped clients:

• Entering into or terminating employment contracts: When signing a new employment contract, an attorney can review all provisions to ensure your rights and interests are protected. Similarly, for contract termination, legal advice is essential to understand your rights and potentially challenge unlawful dismissal.
• Workplace bullying or discrimination: Facing workplace bullying (mobbing) or any form of discrimination at work is extremely stressful and unfair. Timely legal action helps stop such behavior and hold responsible parties accountable. An attorney helps gather evidence and initiate proceedings to protect your rights.
• Unpaid wages or contributions: If an employer is late with salary payments, fails to pay overtime, meal allowances, holiday pay, or contributions, you have the right to protect your financial interests. We initiate appropriate legal measures (claims, lawsuits) to ensure you receive everything you’re legally entitled to.
• Workplace injuries and employer liability: In cases of workplace injury or occupational illness, the employer may be liable for damages. We provide support to injured workers in exercising their rights – from reporting injuries to relevant institutions to compensation claims and potential lawsuits.

Legal Services We Provide

In addition to the situations mentioned above, labor law includes:

• drafting employer internal acts (work regulations, job systematization)
• resolving fixed-term or permanent employment status
• issues of past service, annual leave, and sick leave
• collective labor disputes and strikes

Court and Institutional Representation

When labor law disputes go to court, we stand by our client from start to finish. We carefully prepare lawsuits or responses to lawsuits, gather evidence (contracts, decisions, medical documentation, workplace witnesses) and represent you before the competent court or labor inspection. We understand that labor disputes can be emotionally draining and financially burdensome, so we strive to resolve them efficiently and favorably for the client, either through court or out-of-court settlement.
