Employers pay for the first 42 days of sick leave at the rate of 70% of the employee's regular wage. Periods of sickness over 42 days are still paid by the employer but reimbursed by the national health insurance fund.
Paid maternity leave consists of 28 days before the due date (rising to 45 days in special circumstances) and 70 days after the birth. Unpaid maternity leave can be taken after 70 days up to the child turning six months old.
Croatia makes no statutory provision for paternity leave. Nevertheless, if a mother cannot care for her child, the father can take her mandatory 70 days of maternity leave after the birth.
Croatia's standard termination process requires notice periods unless the employer can prove why dismissal without notice was justified. Dismissal on account of misconduct requires written notice, and documented meetings before the final decision regarding termination.
Notice periods are determined by an employee's duration of service:
Employees with over two years of service are paid severance pay at the rate of 33% of their salary for each year employed, up to a maximum of six months.
Probation periods cannot exceed one year. The length of each individual's probationary period is stipulated in their employment agreement.
