On 28 June 2022, senior lawyers of the IOM Slovakia Migration Information Centre trained six lawyers of the Slovak NGO Human Rights League about Slovak labour law. They provide legal counselling to Ukrainian refugees at the Bottova Assistance Centre in Bratislava.

This training session will help participants to advise their clients on:

• the kinds of contracts under which they may or may not be employed in Slovakia,
• practical aspects of employment, such as probationary period, maximum working time, right to rest and pay entitlements,
• what to do when the employer fails to pay them wages, or
• how they may terminate their employment.

Training on the basics of Slovak labour law was part of a series of IOM trainings for lawyers and employees of HRL assisting people from Ukraine. Photo © International Organization for Migration (IOM) 2022.
