Labour law
Labour law governs the relationship between the employee and the employer in the provision of labour.
This relationship is not limited to the conclusion of the employment contract, the performance of the employee’s duties and the payment of wages.
Labour law, and in particular the Labour Code as the main legal act in the sector, regulates many other relations, e.g. professional qualification, health and safety conditions at work, grounds for termination of the employment relationship, preliminary protection in case of unlawful dismissal, the employee’s property liability, etc.
The most common cases in the field of labour law are illegal dismissals, work accidents and the involvement of the employee’s property liability.
Often employees do not defend their employment rights due to various circumstances, most often due to fear of the economically stronger party in the person of the employer.
We at the law firm ”Legaltera” are convinced that it is not the financial capabilities that determine the outcome of labor disputes, but justice. The current Bulgarian labour law, based on the principle of fairness, and in particular on the protection of the economically weaker party, provides numerous rights and protections to employees, which can be effectively exercised if the employees wish so.
The Bulgarian court is also steadfast in protecting the rights of employees, especially in cases of unlawful dismissal.
In conclusion, we at the “Legaltera” Law Firm would like to stress that Bulgarian employees have many rights which can be successfully protected if the workers wish so.
