Summary/Abstract: The author tries to determine most important transitional peculiarities of Serbian Labor Law. It isn’t an exhaustive analysis of the entire legal text; the focus is only on basic concepts of Labor Law. Especially discussed are the definitions of employer and employee as main actors having to implement its provisions. Since the article has been written mainly for foreign readers, the extralegal circumstances decisively influencing the form and content of rules contained in Labor Law are shortly described in its introductory part. An analysis of the fundamental rights and duties of parties to work contract is also carried out. The practical importance and transitional character of legal provisions relating to the surplus of employees are singled out in the text. Rules prohibiting discrimination at work or relating the work are analyzed in more details suggesting their modernization potential. In conclusion, the author shows that there is a need for more radical revision of the analyzed legal solutions that have to be made conformant with basic postulates of market economy and socially responsible State.
