“The State Should Compensate Workers for Unpaid Contributions When Employers Are Insolvent or No Longer Operating”

Members of Parliament from the Socialist People’s Party (SNP), Slađana Kaluđerović and Bogdan Božović, have introduced amendments to the Law on the Labor Fund aimed at addressing the issue of unpaid employee contributions when their employers are either insolvent or have exited the labor market.

The SNP highlighted that this initiative represents a significant advancement in the ongoing struggle for workers’ rights and social equity.

“These amendments ensure that the state, via the Labor Fund, compensates employees for unpaid contributions when their employers have gone bankrupt, are insolvent, or have disappeared from the market, thus aiding those in need to fulfill the service period necessary for securing pension rights. They will no longer be ‘invisible.’ Their rights will not be ‘forgotten.’ They have joined our fight for a fair Montenegro,” stated MP Kaluđerović during a press conference in Parliament.

The SNP representatives declared that this proposal signifies a definitive measure, conveying a clear message that workers “will no longer be subjected to bureaucratic hindrances and systemic failures.”

“Engaging with individuals who have dedicated their lives to work only to find themselves without a secure future compels us to act; indifference is not an option. We initiated this proposal to address injustices and restore dignity to every worker,” Kaluđerović affirmed.

Božović underscored “the significance of the courageous and proactive policies adopted by the SNP.”

“This transcends mere political rhetoric—this is substantive policy. We must safeguard workers’ rights. Through this law, we guarantee that no one remains ‘invisible’ within the system. The amendments delineate clear timelines for application submissions and establish proper protocols to uphold employee rights. Additionally, the basis for contribution payments will reflect the minimum wage in Montenegro at the time of application, ensuring the Labor Fund’s financial sustainability and operational efficiency,” Božović elaborated.

“SNP is not a party of mere declarations but one driven by solutions. Our commitment to workers, families, and the future of all citizens persists. This legislation marks just the initial step; we will not relent until every Montenegrin enjoys a secure and dignified existence,” Kaluđerović affirmed.

Concluding the conference, SNP representatives extended their “thanks to the citizens for their trust” and announced a “continued effort towards concrete policies that enhance social justice and improve quality of life” in Montenegro.
