Changes to the Labor Law

1.01.2018

Major procedural amendments made to the Labor Law, effective January 1st 2018


The Parliament enacted major changes to the procedural provision of the Labor Law, introducing mandatory mediation for restitution and monetary claims.  Employees will be obliged to apply to the regional mediation offices established under the courts before filing their claims before the judiciary.  Failure to comply with this requirement will result in rejection of actions due to lack of pre-trial mediation.

The changes recently introduced aim at reducing the workload of courts, incentivizing employers and employees to settle disputes at lower costs and supporting a more efficient judiciary that will concentrate on specific types of action.
