The topic of this final paper is wage as an obligation and a right from labour law. Wages are the monetary equivalent of the work done by the worker for his employer. The right to be paid for a dignified life is also guaranteed by the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia. The basic wage is the wage to which the worker deserves his pay, when he works for the employer full-time under normal working conditions. Each employment contract must contain a basic wage, provision on wage supplements, and periods of payment of benefits to which the employee is entitled in accordance with the provisions of Article 15., paragraph 1., item 8. of the Labor Act (Narodne novine, 93/14, 127/17 and 98/19). Employee's wage must be determined, the amount of the employment contract must be determined in a way that is determined by the ordinace of law or collective agreement. The Croatian Labor Law prescribes the obligation of employers to pay equal pay to workers for equal work and work of equal value. However, we are still witnessing numerous inequalities of women as well as inequalities in relation to men, mostly in the part of the right to equal pay for equal work. The work will show the concept, form and characteristics labour law, employment contract as an instrument of establishing individual labour law, an obligation and a right of employment, namely a contract of employment with a specific elaboration of wage as a fundamental obligation for the employer and the fundamental right of the employee.
