The situation

The Croatian Minister of Labour and Pension System has adopted ordinances that clarify the documentary requirements for posted workers implemented in July.

A closer look

The clarifications are as follows:

• Effective date. The ordinances are effective November 4, 2017. 
• Declaration requirements. Declarations obtained on or after November 4 will require the following more detailed information from the employer than previously required:
  • The main business activity of the employer;
  • Full name, number of identification document, date and place of birth of person authorized to represent the employer;
  • Full name, number of identification document (identification card or passport), date and place of birth and residence of document-keeping agent;
  • Full name, number of identification document (identification card or passport), and residence  of contact person; and
  • Address where service will be provided or work will be performed.
• Valid declarations. Declarations that are valid as of November 4 will need to be supplemented with the following additional information:
  • Full name, number of identification document (identification card or passport), address, telephone number, e-mail address, date and place of birth of document-keeping agent;
  • Full name and address, number of identification document (identification card or passport), telephone number and e-mail address of the contact person; and
  • Statement from the employer containing wording from the ordinance on form and content of declaration on posting.
    • Notification of changes. All changes to the posting must be reported to the authorities within three days of the change.
    • Multiple workers. Employers may list all posted workers working on the same project at the same time in one document.
    • Employers without offices in Croatia. All employers without an office in Croatia must file a posting declaration prior to posting an employee in Croatia.
