Amendments aimed at restricting disguising an employment
relation as a civil law agreement are made to the Labour Code
effective 8 May 2021.
The revisions define "employment relations", i.e.,
relations based on (i) the personal discharge, according to
obligations provided for by the employment law and collective
bargaining agreements and pacts, by an employee for a salary
compensation of a job function of a profession or position at the
workplace determined based on a mutual agreement with an employer,
for which he/she was hired (appointed), elected, reinstated, (ii)
his/her observance of internal disciplinary rules, (iii) provision
by the employer of the employee's working conditions,
guarantees, and labour protection, (iv) as well as the principles
of the Code.
