All domestic or foreign legal entities with at least 20 employees, not classified as new employers under the Law, are obligated to hire persons with disabilities. An employer with 20 to 49 employees is obligated to employ one person with a disability, while an employer with 50 or more employees is obligated to employ at least two persons with a disability, and for each subsequent 50 employees, always one additional person with a disability.
If an employer does not establish a working relationship with a disabled person, they are obligated to fulfill the legal requirement in one of the following ways:
- Pay the funds to the account of the budget of the Republic of Serbia no later than the deadline set for submitting the report on the fulfillment of the obligation to employ persons with disabilities (the deadline is the 5th of the month for the previous month);
