Labor Protection

The Company ensures full compliance with the legislative requirements in terms of the guarantees and compensations payable to the employees.

The Company fully compensates its employees for harmful labor conditions in the form of a shorter working week, additional leave, higher remuneration depending on the extent of personal injuries sustained at the workplace. A separate clause of the Agreement makes it impossible for the employer to impair the compensation terms for the employees who were eligible to compensations as of the effective date of the SWA legislation, unless the respective employees were transferred to the improved category (sub-category) of labor conditions.

There are the following types of compensations provided to JDC’s employees:

• high quality certified special clothes, safety footwear and other types of personal protective equipment shall be provided free of charge for the employee at the employer’s expense;
