Work experience

    The essence of work experience This is the time during which you have an employment contract with your employer, work as a civil servant or in public service. If you had an employment contract under the laws of another country. Also, if you have held a position in an institution in the European Union When practicing freelance as a lawyer, dentist, artist, private psychologist, craftsman, etc., you will not be eligible for work experience. Calculation of length of service Work experience is calculated in days, months and years. The time in which at least half of the statutory working time for the country is worked is counted for one day of work experience. That is, if the working time is 8 hours, and you are assigned to a 4-hour work contract, you will be recognized as a full-time internship. Reduced working time, of course, is important for the amount of social security contributions and, accordingly, for determining the retirement pension and age, but not for the length of service. For one month of work experience, the time during which at least 21 days of the calendar month are worked will be counted. Accordingly, after 12 such months, you will gain one year of service. Circumstances in which work experience is respected without actually working The periods during which work experience is respected when you do not go to work are on weekends and holidays; in paid and unpaid leave; used unpaid maternity leave; the time you attend courses, schools or other forms of vocational training and retraining and you are unable to go to work; if you have been dismissed from work for a crime and have not been indicted; if you were prosecuted, but it turns out that the crime is not a crime or that you are not the perpetrator. Certification of length of service The employer is obliged to provide you with a work record after your employment. It records all the data related to your job - date of entry and departure, reasons for leaving, etc. Does work experience affect pay? You receive additional remuneration for work experience and professional experience, which is a certain percentage of your basic salary each year you work. It should not change if the company you work for changes its owner. At the conclusion of the first employment contract during the first year you are not entitled to additional remuneration. After one year of service, the corresponding rate of pay will begin to accrue, which will increase with each year of service.
