PAYMENT FOR WORK AND PROTECTION OF WORKERS, IF PAYMENT NOT RECEIVED: COMPARISON BETWEEN SLOVENIA, AUSTRIA AND SERBIA

Plača delavca predstavlja, v večini primerov, glavni vir preživetja delavca kot tudi njegove družine. V Sloveniji je velika težava ta, da vedno več delavcev prejema minimalno plačo, ki ne omogoča več preživetja. Prav tako so plače delavcev preveč obdavčene. Delavci od svoje plače plačujejo bistveno večje prispevke kot delodajalci. Ni razlik med delavci, kateri delajo v manj ugodnem delovnem času, nedelje, praznike, nočno delo … Za vse to prejme v Sloveniji večina ljudi zakonsko opredeljeno minimalno plačo. Še večji problem pa predstavlja to, da delavec za svoje pošteno delo ne prejme plačila oziroma plače. Takrat so ljudje prisiljeni poiskati pomoč pri Rdečem križu in Karitasu, da lahko s svojo družino preživijo mesec. Pogledala in primerjala bom, kako je zakonsko urejeno področje plač, kako je sestavljena plača, kakšni so prispevki delojemalcev in delodajalcev, obdavčitev plač in kako je urejena minimalna plača v Sloveniji, Avstriji in Srbiji. Prav tako pa bom poiskala odgovor, kaj narediti, če ne prejmeš plače. Prišla sem do zaključka, do so prispevki za socialno varnost, ki jih plačujejo delavci od plače v Sloveniji bistveno višji kot v ostalih primerjanih državah. Prav tako pa so prispevki delodajalcev, ki jih plačujejo ob plač delavcev (16,10 %) v primerjavi s Srbijo (17,90 %) in Avstrijo (21,63 %) dosti nižji. Če bi delodajalci pri nas plačevali več od delavcev, bi tako delavci prejeli neto plače višje.Salary of an employee mostly presents the main source of survival for the employee and also his family. There is a big problem in Slovenia that more and more workers get minimal salary, which does not enable the survival anymore. Workers pay a considerably larger sum of contributions than employers do. There are no differences between the workers who work in less suitable working time, Sundays, holidays, night shifts, etc. In Slovenia, most of employees get for this minimal salary, which is defined by the law. There could be even bigger problem that an employee does not get payment or salary for his fair work. People are forced to get help then at Red Cross and Karitas to survive with his family through a month. I will research and compare how it is organized in Slovenia, Austria, and Serbia when it comes to the area of salaries, how a salary is formed, what the contributions of employees and employers are, taxation of salaries, and a minimal wage. I will also find the answer what to do if you do not get a salary. I have come to the conclusion that contributions for social security, which are paid by employees from their salaries in Slovenia are considerably higher than in other compared states. The contributions of employers that they pay from their employees\u27 salaries (16.10%) in comparison to Serbia (17.10%) and Austria (21.63%) is much lower. If the employers paid more than the employees in Slovenia, the employees would get higher nett salaries
