Naknade iz radnog odnosa kroz prizmu novih tendencija u sudskoj praksi

The inspiration for writing this paper was the passing of the ruling of the Supreme Court of Cassation, referring that meal allowance and vacation allowance must be specifically monetary determined, which opened revolutionary opportunities for compensation. In addition to the general consideration of the mentioned fees and the role of the collective agreement in their regulation, the paper especially studied the factual situation and the unequivocal position of the Court that meal allowance and vacation allowance, as well as shift work cannot be considered as an integral part of the price of one working hour and that their value must be stated in the salary calculations. The starting point is the hypothesis that employment benefits are opened for abuse in practice due to imprecise legal wording, as well as employees could have an advantage position in lawsuits for damages regarding benefits by this ruling.
