What is employment?

Employment is a legal relation whereby an employee is obliged to fulfill his work responsibilities under the employer’s control and direction according to the type of work and position. The employer, on the other hand, is obliged to provide the conditions enabling the employee to fulfill his/her duties, and to pay out the remuneration on time.

Remember!

Labour law has its rules. It’s worth familiarizing with them to make sure that your rights are respected regardless of whether you are an employer or employee.
