Violations of labor law in Bulgaria can take many forms, ranging from the lack of due benefits to non-compliance with the conditions of safety and health at work. Understanding and applying legal provisions is key to protecting workers' rights and ensuring that employers practice lawfully. Here are some of the most common violations and ways to avoid them:
These principles and precautions are designed to ensure the protection of workers' rights and to promote fair and lawful labour practices. It is important that employers and employees strive for open dialogue and cooperation in order to avoid potential disruptions and to create a healthy and productive work environment.
Awareness and transparency are key to avoiding labour law violations. Employers and employees should be aware of their rights and obligations and seek legal advice when necessary. Regular training and updating of knowledge on labor law can also contribute to the prevention of violations and the improvement of labor relations.
According to the Labor Code in Bulgaria, dismissal without notice is possible only in strictly defined cases, such as serious violations of labor discipline. In most situations, the employer is obliged to provide advance notice, the term of which depends on the length of the employee's service with the same employer.
Overtime work includes any work performed outside the regulated working hours established by the employment contract. The law allows overtime work in limited cases, and its imposition requires the consent of the worker or a specific order in exceptional circumstances. Overtime is paid with an increase agreed between the parties, but not less than the established minimum percentages above the basic remuneration.
Yes, in accordance with the Bulgarian labor legislation, the employee has the right to terminate his employment contract without notice if the employer has delayed the payment of wages for more than one month. According to the Labor Code, this constitutes a material breach of contractual obligations on the part of the employer, which gives grounds for the employee to be released from the employment relationship immediately, without having to comply with a notice period. It is important to note that in such circumstances, the worker may also be entitled to compensation for the termination of the employment contract, according to the conditions and procedures provided by law.
