About employment law: dismissals & disputes in Croatia

This service is for people who have lost their job and want advice, and perhaps want to challenge the decision. Common problems include being fired unfairly or without a proper reason, not getting the right notice or severance pay (money owed when a job ends), or being treated unfairly because of who you are. The aim is to seek compensation or to get your job back.

Time limits matter

Anyone can use this service. The time limit to challenge a dismissal is strict: 20 working days from when you were told. It helps to have your papers ready, such as your work contract, the dismissal letter and any messages with your employer.

How it works

  • First talk: reviewing your papers and judging whether the dismissal was fair and lawful.
  • Conciliation: the first formal step is a meeting where you and your employer try to reach an agreement with official help. A claim for this is filed within the time limit.
  • Court: if no agreement is reached, a case can be brought in the court that deals with work disputes.
  • Representation: the lawyer speaks for you at the meeting and in court, presents evidence and negotiates for you.
  • Outcome: the lawyer explains your chances and seeks compensation, your job back, or both, depending on the case.

The service is given by English-speaking lawyers who know the local work laws, so you can understand each step clearly.

What clients say about our service

  • It was a good experience. The lawyer was very responsive and helpful in ending a contract relationship. We communicated by email and phone, all in English, and he answered all our questions very quickly. He reviewed our contracts and advised us on the impact and on possible improvements. All in all it was very positive, and we can certainly recommend his service.

  • I was facing an involuntary departure from a job of 23 years, and the lawyer's calm, steady guidance was invaluable. She explained the workings of the law, my entitlements and the steps I could expect, then helped me with each of them over several months. She was readily available in person or by phone, and was clear and tactful both with me and when we wrote jointly to my ex-employer. She played a crucial part in reviewing and editing the agreement in its English and Spanish versions, and the company accepted everything she insisted upon. Her unbending professionalism, clarity and patience with my questions were just what was needed to bring an unexpected and difficult situation to a satisfying conclusion. I could not be happier to have found her.

  • When my family needed an English-speaking lawyer in Spain, he was a godsend. He took charge straight away, and his professionalism, together with his command of Spanish law, got me through a complicated situation. He is the person to go to if you must work your way through the hard-to-reach rights and obligations of the Spanish legal code. He is also compassionate and understanding, and he was always available and ready to help. I recommend him without any hesitation to anyone who needs effective legal representation.
