YUGOSLAVIA d.Minimum Age for the employment of Children The minimum age for child labor is 16. although in village and farm communities, younger children often assist with faintly agricultural obligations. Enforcement is carried out by the Federal and Republic Secretariats for Labor, Health, and Social Policy. e.Acceptable Conditions of Work Minimum wages are guaranteed by federal law, but there were many instances in 1991 in which workers were not paid their wages on time or in full and waited several months before receiving their salaries. These arrearages occurred frequently in both the private and public sectors. The official workweek is listed as 42 hours. During the economic slowdown in 1991, however, a number of enterprises, actually operated for fewer hours. Enterprise work forces are also often divided into A? and ?B" lists and ?platoons? on a 2-week schedule in order to reduce costs. There are generous sick leave and vacation benefits. Yugoslavia has extensive federal and republic laws and regulations on occupational health and safety. Enforcement of work safety rules, however, is lax. 62 |
