Establishing employment status

Pravo na rad i slobodu rada ustavno je pravo svakog državljanina Republike Hrvatske. Kao prvi i temeljni korak u ostvarenju tog prava i svih ostalih radnopravnih obveza i prava, je zasnivanje radnog odnosa. Ono je u Republici Hrvatskoj uređeno Zakonom o radu. Odredbe tog zakona omogućavaju subjektima u radnopravnom odnosu definiranje obveza, uvjeta rada, plaće i ostalih sličnih prava koja uređuju njihov odnos. Dokument koji je ključan u zasnivanju radnog odnosa je ugovor o radu koji može biti ugovoren na neodređeno i određeno vrijeme. Njime se definiraju obveze i prava radnika i poslodavca. U pravilu, poslodavac odlučuje o obliku ugovora, ponajviše u ovisnosti o djelatnosti koju obavlja. Pojedine djelatnosti zahtijevaju posebne uvjete za zasnivanje odnosa. Ti uvjeti mogu biti uređeni zakonom, kolektivnim ugovorom i ostalim propisima. U tom slučaju poslodavac može ugovoriti radni odnos samo s osobom koja udovoljava tim uvjetima. Tako razlikujemo osnovne uvjete pod kojima se osobe mogu zaposliti u RH, a to su opći uvjeti koji se odnose na životnu dob, te posebni koje zakonodavstvo propisuje za određene poslove.The right to work and freedom of work is a constitutional right of every citizen of the Republic of Croatia. As the first and fundamental step in the realization of this right and all other labor law obligations and rights, is the establishment of an employment. In Republic of Croatia it is regulated by the Labor Act. The regulations of this law enable the subjects in the employment relationship to define obligations, working conditions, salary and other similar rights that regulate their relationship. The document that is crucial in establishing an employment is an employment contract that can be contracted for an indefinite and definite period of time. It defines the obligations and rights of workers and employers. Employer has a right to decide which form of the contract to offer, mostly depending on the activity he performs. Some activities require special conditions for establishing a relationship. These conditions may be regulated by law, collective agreements and other regulations. In this case, the employer can sign an employment contract only with the person that meets these conditions. Thus, we distinguish between the basic conditions under which persons can be employed in the Republic of Croatia, and these are general conditions related to age of the person, and special conditions regulated by the legislation for the certain jobs
