Abstract

Minors who have reached the age of 15 have the right to enter into an employment relationship under certain special conditions. By limiting the age limit for entering into an employment relationship, the state protects minors from the possible exploitation of child labor and other negative consequences that may endanger the life, health, morals and education of minors. In the paper, the author will point out the importance of protecting the best interests of the child in the world of work. The Labor Law prescribes special conditions that must be met in order for minors to be able to enter in to an employment relationship. The paper presents special conditions for entering into an employment relationship with this category of people, such as the minimum age, the consent of the legal representative and protection from jobs that endanger the minor's health, morals and education. Due to the specificity of this employment relationship and the importance of protecting the rights of minors, Directive No. 94/33/EC prescribes numerous rules and restrictions regarding working with minors. In this paper, the author will analyze the legal framework and the importance of respecting these rules in establishing an employment relationship with a minor.
