Both consultations are open until 2 December 2026. In the consultation description, the competent ministry states the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Act on Amendments to the Labour Act is being adopted in order to ensure compliance with two European Union directives, align the legislative provisions with the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union, and ensure horizontal alignment with other laws of the Republic of Croatia.\n\nThe new legislative provisions introduced to ensure compliance with Directive (EU) 2023\/970 will eliminate unjustified pay differences between men and women performing equal work or work of equal value. Furthermore, the amendments introduced to ensure compliance with Directive (EU) 2024\/2831 will improve workers\u2019 rights and provide a higher level of personal data protection for all natural persons performing work through digital labour platforms.\n\nAligning the legislative provisions with the judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union will ensure the preservation of the right to carry over annual leave, while horizontal alignment with other laws will ensure legal certainty and more precise regulation of the rights of specific categories of workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
