(Rad na ekstremnim temperaturama - koja su prava radnika)
Labor-law specialist Olga Vuckovic Kicanovic told N1 that there is no separate legal basis for mandatory work from home because of extreme heat: it remains an employer's decision. For outdoor work above 36 C, an employer must provide water, shade or a cooled break area, a trained first-aid employee, and appropriate clothing. She noted that until two years ago the Labor Ministry issued recommendations for outdoor work, but no longer does so; compliance, she said, is a matter for inspection.
