Zakon o mirovinskom osiguranju

The book The Pension Insurance Act (Zakon o mirovinskom osiguranju), authored by Lidija Jelenčić and published in 1998, serves as an exceptionally important professional handbook and guide to the comprehensive reform of the pension system in the Republic of Croatia during the late 1990s. The enactment of the new Pension Insurance Act in 1998 laid the foundation for the transition from the previous system to modern forms of pension insurance, making this publication an essential resource for legal professionals, human resources personnel, and experts in labor law. In the book, the author provides detailed interpretations and practical explanations of the legal provisions governing the eligibility requirements for old-age pensions, early old-age pensions, disability pensions, and survivor (family) pensions. Particular attention is given to the new method for calculating pensions, the determination of qualifying service periods, the valorization of personal points, and the procedures for exercising and protecting the rights of insured persons. Through clear examples and an analysis of how the regulations are applied in practice, this edition has aided in the understanding of complex legislative changes. The 1998 edition remains a valuable document regarding the historical development of Croatian social and pension legislation.
