📋 Tender Overview
Minister of Labor Pension System Family and Social Policy Josip Aladrovic said on Thursday that the amendments to the Labor Law should better regulate work from home that the number of employees is now 18000 higher than at the beginning of the coronary crisis and that there will certainly be no reductions in the autumn. pension. We have already announced earlier that we will go to the amendments to the Labor Law that is that we will go to correct the labor legislation. One of the parts we need to talk about with our social partners - unions and employers - is working from home working in a separate place. We have to edit it better define it better and it is very uncertain what can be expected of us in the context of work in the fall and whether that scenario from March and April will be repeated said Aladrovic. He added that in the new situation all options are open and that we need to talk to the social partners and see how to arrange it. The unions announcements are that we are moving more towards a national collective agreement and we believe that we must open the Labor Law because there are several topics we need to discuss not just working from home so we expect an interesting discussion in the fall he said. is. He also pointed out that the procedure for amending the Labor Law can take a long time but also a very short time - depending on the will of the unions employers and the Government to reach an agreement. If there is a will for an agreement and if the starting and ending positions are very close I think we can arrange it very quickly. And not only this part of work from home but also the part related to fixed-term and indefinite contracts and additional and supplementary work. These are all topics that need to be sat down and discussed. I am not saying that at this moment we have absolutely the same views on that but we must talk and find as close common positions as possible Aladrovic said. Aladrovi 199 beneficiaries and 72 workers in retirement homes have been infected so far Asked about the announcements of a difficult autumn and whether citizens should be worried about jobs salaries and pensions Aladrovi said that above all pensions are safe and stable. . We said earlier that this is the last line of defense we are sticking to that and I am sure that pension cuts or any corrections will not come. As for salaries the trends show that they have been gaining a positive trend in the last two or three months so they are growing. We had a downward trend in the beginning now they are showing growth. The number of employees at the moment is higher - about 18000 than at the beginning of the corona crisis and I think we can endure the fall said Aladrovic. He added that in the context of the labor market it was possible to protect and preserve jobs but also that there is a recovery plan and planned European and national funds. He also commented on putting Croatia on the black list of other European countries. Personally I would say that it is partly for political reasons and partly because unfortunately the number of patients has been growing for several days. We have shown so far that we can deal with the crisis in economic terms I am sure we will repeat that lesson in the coming months. As far as tourism is concerned I hope that the number of infected people will start to decrease so that the season could last a bit longer than it normally lasts said Aladrovi. At the Government session the Minister presented the results of measures implemented in cooperation with the CNIPH and the Ministry of Health to protect the elderly from coronavirus primarily in retirement homes and those for the elderly and infirm and pointed out that 12 recommendations and decisions had been made. About 26000 users are accommodated in more than 868 homes and so far there have been 199 cases of infection of users and 72 cases of infection of workers. Unfortunately 46 users have passed away. If we look at the second wave of infection as of June 1 there are eight deceased users. These are acceptable data what we will do in the coming period is to develop awareness among the old population and strengthen the crisis team within the Ministry said Aladrovic.
