In case you have employed persons with disabilities or fulfilled this obligation by placing an order, for purpose of obligation fulfillment you are obliged to inform the Headquarter of Employment, Social Affairs and Family of the SR about the fact till 31.3.2015.
Obligation of employers to employ persons with disabilities
The obligation arises, when the employer is employing at least 20 persons and the Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family keeps persons with disabilities in its evidence of job seekers in the amount, that represents 3.2% of the total number of employees.
In case of employment of a person with decrease of ability to perform earning activity by more than 70% due to long-term unfavourable health status, employment of such employee counts for this purpose as if employing 3 persons with disabilities.
Placing an order for purpose of obligation fulfillment
