Employers’ violations of labour legislation are mainly due to the following reasons:
- Disregarding existing labour laws;
- Legal illiteracy is a major issue for many employers (This is especially true for individual entrepreneurs and small business managers);
- Some employers don’t want to comply with labor legislation due to legal nihilism;
- Workers who lack legal training are unable to defend their rights;
- Unprofitability of enterprises, their bankruptcy.

If rights are violated, the employee has the right to appeal to the State Labour Inspectorate or to the Prosecutor’s Office.
