In the intricate labyrinth of Macedonian labor law, where human lives intersect with legal norms, we offer precise and dedicated legal support. With deep expertise in the Law on Labor Relations (LLR), the Law on Protection from Workplace Harassment, the Law on Prevention and Protection from Discrimination, relevant collective agreements, and extensive case law, we are your trusted partner in all employment-related challenges — from drafting employment contracts, to protecting against discrimination and harassment, to challenging unlawful terminations and restoring violated rights.
Our team specializes in navigating every aspect of employment law, turning legal complexity into your advantage.
Unlawful Termination and Employment Cessation
Employers must strictly comply with legal provisions when terminating employment contracts. Our lawyers represent clients in cases of:
Unlawful Termination: If a termination is carried out without following due procedure or without legally recognized reasons, courts can annul the termination and reinstate you, including compensation for lost wages and contributions during the period of unlawful dismissal.
Severance Pay: Employees are entitled to severance pay in cases of termination for business reasons, calculated based on years of service.
Discrimination and Workplace Harassment
The Law on Prevention and Protection from Discrimination, the Law on Protection from Workplace Harassment, and the Constitution guarantee equality and prohibit discrimination. Employers are obliged to protect the dignity of employees and ensure that no employee becomes a victim of harassment or sexual harassment.
Wages, Benefits, and Other Employment Rights
Employees are entitled to remuneration — wages in accordance with the law, collective agreements, and employment contracts — which must be paid in cash and cannot be lower than the minimum wage.
Job Classification, Reassignment, and Employment Transformation
Employers have the right to freely decide which candidate to hire, subject to legal prohibitions. Employment contracts are typically concluded for an indefinite term, though fixed-term contracts are also permitted.
We rely not only on statutory law but also on extensive case law, allowing us to anticipate potential risks and protect you from them.
Comprehensive Guidance for Employers and Employees
Whether you are an employer seeking compliance with labor regulations or an employee whose rights have been violated, we guide you through all aspects of employment relations.
