HUP will readily take part in those efforts provided that a comprehensive project is elaborated to fully suppress illiquidity, the association's president, Damir Kustrak, told the press.
Kustrak hopes that the situation may improve this summer provided that the government and all those concerned invest more effort to that end.
Kustrak urged an in-depth analysis of illiquidity, covering state-owned and private companies.
HUP representatives do not think that classical multilateral compensation is realistic, and they propose a sort of factoring, targeted compensation, cession etc.
Commenting on the government's proposal to change the Labour Act's section about collective agreements, employers said that the indefinite application of acquired rights from collective agreements was not a practice in developed countries and that the matter was regulated when collective agreements were signed.
They also called for raising the issue of the minimum wage, describing the existing legislation on the matter as lacking.
Under the legislation, the adjustment of the minimum wage is based on the growth of Gross Domestic Product, with the law failing to regulate the situation when GDP contracts.
HUP representatives hold that the gross minimum wage should be reduced from the current HRK 2,814 to HRK 2,644 owing to a drop in GDP in 2009.
However, the Central Bureau of Statistics stated in the Official Gazette last week that the gross minimum wage would remain HRK 2,814 in the period from 1 June 2010 to 31 May 2011.
