Commentary on the Draft Proposal of the Prevention of Undeclared Work Act
AmCham raises concerns over the draft Law on Undeclared Work, citing its potential harm to the business environment and data protection issues.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Croatia (AmCham) comments on the Draft Law on Undeclared Work, highlighting issues with Articles 18 and 19, which introduce joint liability for contractors regarding subcontractors’ wage obligations. AmCham argues this places an excessive administrative burden on businesses and raises serious concerns about personal data protection, particularly sensitive salary information. The proposed obligations are seen as disproportionate and could lead to legal uncertainty and misuse. AmCham suggests these articles be removed, as they may hinder rather than help efforts to combat undeclared work.
