The Federation of Trade Unions of Macedonia and the Organization of Employers after several meetings, on 13.07.2015 signed the text of the Treaty for amendments to the General Collective Agreement for the private sector in the area of economy.

The social partners have agreed in the Agreement the right to recourse for annual leave of at least 40% of the average monthly net salary per employee in Macedonia paid in the last 3 months, which represents payment basis, to remain and this right to be used by all employees in the private sector.

Having assessed the economic and financial situation, the existence of the effects of economic, financial and debt crisis and the difficulties that certain employers face with, in order to ensure job security and elimination of the risk of losing jobs, the partners have agreed as an exception that the right of recourse for vacation can be determined in less amount than the one defined, but only with an agreement signed by the employer and the representative trade union organization, with mandatory prior consultation with the trade union on a branch level or sector. For employers with no established trade union organization the Treaty shall be signed by the elected workers’ representative.

The social partners have agreed to continue the validity of the collective agreement for the private sector I the area of the economy for additional 2 years.

The social partners after nearly two months of negotiations have shown in this way the value of social dialogue, the commitment not to cut workers' rights, and the determination to avoid disturbing the normal process of production and loss of jobs.
