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:
