    Many workers receive less than minimum wage

    Employees are often harassed, employers often do not comply with the inspectors’ orders regarding return to work, and a large number of workers receive a salary below RSD 35,000, which is this year’s minimum wage – these are some of the conclusions of the survey conducted by the Regional Information Agency Jug pres.

    Thus, when asked „do you know someone who receives a salary lower than the minimum wage“, as many as 63.4 percent of respondents answered in the affirmative.

    Labour law experts recall that the price of a working hour of RSD 201.22 refers only to the employees under an employment contract, but not to those who are engaged in temporary work or those who are in some other form of employment, under a temporary service contract, such as seasonal workers.

    All of them do not receive a salary, but a monetary compensation for their work, and there are many such workers, even in the public sector. This is also confirmed by the union representatives, who recall that instead of increasing the employees’ salary coefficient or the base, the amount up to the minimum wage is added to their salary or earnings.

    Nobody cares about the fact that this is completely illegal, and in addition, it is widely used in public services and companies, especially in utilities, but also in the real sector.

    Ranka Savic, president of the Association of Free and Independent Trade Unions, recalls that it is a mass phenomenon in Serbia to set a lower cost of labour per hour than the minimum cost, adding that more than 300,000 workers have a fixed basic salary which is lower than the minimum.

    The consequence is a lower salary than the minimum wage, and then the amount up to the minimum wage is added without any legal basis, Savic concludes.
