The obligation to inform the employee is one of the most important obligations of
employers in labor relations. Regu lated by art. 17-19 of The Labor Code, the emp loyee's

this study we will analyze the applicability of the information obligation and make
proposals for lege ferenda on the basis of the arguments presented.
Keywords: employer's obligation to inform the employee, Labor Code, de lege
