Montenegrins will be removed from the register at the labor exchange and deprived of benefits

Montenegrin media have published. Since November 1, 2015, all foreigners who wish to obtain a work permit need to obtain confirmation from the Employment Agency that there are no unemployed citizens of Montenegro for this job. The application is filed with the Agency of Employment itself, the waiting period for the response, according to the Agency's employee, is from 30 days. This paragraph in the new Law on Aliens applies to general directors, who also need to receive this confirmation. In other words, employers will not be able to hire employees, including directors, if there are applicants for these jobs at the Employment Agency of Montenegro (ZZZCG).

Minister of Labor and Social Protection Zorica Kovacevic said that work is in progress on the fact that all citizens of Montenegro who will refuse to work will be removed from the register of the Employment Agency, thereby depriving them of benefits. Also, work is under way to ensure that the training takes place, the re-qualification of citizens, thus employers will be able to get highly skilled workers.

General Secretary Syuzana Radulovic of the Employers' Union (UPCG) said that someone can be an excellent specialist, but if he does not have a relevant education certificate or certificate that matches this work activity - he can not get this job.

So, in October Montenegrin media published that there are a lot of young people registered with the Employment Agency of Montenegro, the lists of unemployed are full, and their work books are empty. And employers are interested in hiring foreign workers, as this is more profitable for them financially, especially during the season.

Thus, the average salary in the sector of provision of accommodation and food services in 2014 was 385 euros. Given that employees, in non-season, receive such an average salary, how many employees should receive during the season? Naturally more! But, in fact, this is not so. In addition to low wages during the season, which should be at the appropriate level, there are inherent factors related to the severity of performing work during the season. Some express an opinion: No, it's not at all difficult, for this you also studied, you will work until exhaustion for two or three months, and then you will rest. However, such work is not paid in the corresponding monetary equivalent. In addition, in the workplace there are harassment, the use of workers in work that does not meet their qualifications, discrepancy schedules, no shifts, after-hours unpaid work, no days off, no time for a break, food, rest, lack of food, lack of payment for sick leave, work on black, workers were not drawn up by the rules, etc. etc.

So, who is right? What is in question? Foreign labor is a necessary evil for employers during the season, without which it is impossible for them to make the season successful. Tourist reality is a crooked mirror. So what stimulates rumors that local people do not want to work.
