HR (Human Resources)

Business growth typically leads to the need to hire employees. An employment relationship is a relation between an employee and an employer, within which both parties have mutual rights and obligations.

One of the employer’s fundamental obligations regarding employment is maintaining and storing documentation related to the employment relationship as well as personnel files. The employer is also responsible for referring employees for medical examinations and organising Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) training.

Hiring an employee requires fulfilling numerous formalities. The most important element is drafting a proper employment contract, which forms the basis of the employment relationship. In addition to the employment contract, information on the conditions of employment must be prepared, which is particularly important for entrepreneurs not subject to the obligation of establishing internal work regulations and remuneration rules. The provisions contained therein inform the employee of their rights and the applicable standards.

The entire duration of the employment relationship entails the obligation to prepare and maintain various documentation, issue certificates, manage leave records, keep working-time records and many other tasks. These duties must be carried out diligently, given the frequent inspections by the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP).
