Efforts to create a sustained labor legal system are quite present in our country, considering the number of

regulations that regulate the rights and obligations of employment, in the direction of the comprehensive

incorporation of numerous European standards into a system that will enable normal functioning in in

accordance with the constitutional norms. With the adoption of the Law on Labor Relations, the Republic

of Macedonia has already created a legal basis for the construction of labor legislation such as is known in

European countries. The numerous amendments and additions to this Law, which are a consequence of the

obligations undertaken from the signing of the Stabilization and Association Agreement, as well as from the

numerous international conventions and recommendations, mark a step closer to achieving the goal -

creation of labor legislation according to European and international standards.

When it comes to labor rights, the role of the International Labor Organization (ILO) must not and cannot

be overlooked, which, according to its Constitution and the Declaration on the Aims and Tasks of the ILO,

has a single purpose and that is to improve living conditions and the foundations for lasting peace, which

can be based solely on social justice. This goal can only be achieved through cooperation between

government representatives, workers and employers. Regarding the rights of the employee and the

obligations of the employer when it comes to the termination of the employment relationship by termination

of the employment contract for business reasons, two documents of the ILO are considered very significant

and which are simultaneously transferred or transposed into our labor legislation, namely: the Convention

No. 158, on the termination of the employment relationship at the initiative of the employer, 1983, and

Recommendation No. 166 regarding the termination of the employment relationship at the initiative of the

employer.
