Labour and Employment

Labour and Employment

Despite recent changes, the legal framework governing all labour matters in Serbia remains strictly regulated.

Structured Legal Support for Employers

Employment law in Serbia requires precision and careful sequencing. Professional employment law services in Serbia are therefore essential when contracts, internal policies, or terminations are involved. If these matters are handled incorrectly, companies may face administrative fines, litigation, and reputational exposure. Therefore, employers must approach workforce management with legal clarity and regulatory awareness.

Stojković Attorneys advises both domestic and international employers on compliant workforce structuring, employment documentation, and labour risk prevention. In addition, we support companies during expansion, restructuring, and workforce adjustments.

Our role is to provide operational certainty in a regulatory environment where errors can be costly.

Core Employment Law Services

Employment Agreements

We draft and review role-specific employment contracts in accordance with Serbian Labour Law. In doing so, we ensure that documentation reflects both regulatory requirements and business realities.

Service & Management Agreements

We prepare director agreements, consultancy contracts, and other non-employment arrangements. At the same time, we assess potential misclassification and labour risk exposure.

Labour Rulebooks & Internal Acts

Our team prepares and revises:

  • Labour Rulebooks

  • Job Organisation and Systematisation Acts

  • Whistleblowing Procedures

  • Disciplinary and compliance policies

As regulations evolve, we help companies maintain internal alignment.

Staff Mobility & Secondment

We advise on domestic and cross-border secondments within corporate groups. This includes coordination between employment terms, immigration status, and contribution obligations.

Work Permits & Immigration Alignment

Foreign employees require synchronized work and residence authorization. Accordingly, we coordinate immigration procedures with employment documentation to avoid disruption.

Incentive & Retention Structures

We advise on share awards, stock options, loyalty programs, and other incentive mechanisms. Moreover, we assess their compliance with Serbian corporate and labour regulations.

Termination Strategy & Documentation

Termination processes must follow strict procedural standards. Therefore, we assist with documentation, negotiation strategy, and compliance control in both consensual and unilateral cases.

Employment Disputes

When disputes arise, our lawyers represent employers before Serbian courts. In addition, we provide strategic guidance aimed at minimizing litigation exposure.

For International Employers

Serbia presents opportunities for international companies; however, its labour and immigration systems are closely interconnected. As a result, workforce structuring requires careful coordination.

We advise global companies entering the Serbian market, as well as payroll platforms managing local workforce operations. Recently, in cooperation with Deel, our team coordinated a structured employer transition involving 32 employees. The project included both labour and immigration alignment and was completed within one month.

Such projects require timeline control, accurate documentation, and constant coordination between stakeholders. Therefore, we focus on execution discipline and regulatory precision.
