In line with the Law on Professional Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disability, companies with 20 to 50 employees are obliged to employ at least one person with a disability. Furthermore, a company with 50 or more employees has the obligation for at least 5% of its workforce to comprise people with disabilities.

Companies that are not following this regulation are obligated to calculate and pay a special contribution for professional rehabilitation and employment of disabled people.

This contribution is 20% of the average monthly salary in Montenegro.

On the other hand, the government is providing following incentives in case of employment of disabled people:

  • Funds for the adaptation of the workplace for the disable person(s).

  • Credit funds for purchase of machinery, equipment and tools.

  • Co-financing of funds for financing disabled person's assistant.

  • Subventions of salary for disable person(s) as follows: 75% of gross salary for a person with at least 50% of disability in first year, 60% in the second year and 50% in following years.
