Full-time Work
Employment for the standard number of hours per week as defined by law or collective agreement.
Definition
Within the context of Croatian labor law, full-time work generally refers to employment for a standard 40-hour workweek, although specific collective agreements may define it differently. The Law on Minimum Wage specifically states that the minimum wage is the lowest monthly gross amount paid to an employee for full-time work. This distinction is important as it forms the basis for calculating the minimum remuneration. For employees working less than the standard full-time hours, their minimum wage entitlement is proportionally adjusted based on their contracted working time, ensuring equitable treatment for all workers regardless of their working hour arrangement.
