Summary/Abstract: Due to their young age minors are more vulnerable as employees. They need enhanced and thorough care. The special protection of minor labour manifests itself throughout the whole existence of the individual employment relationship. Even more. The protection of youth labour begins even before the employment relationship is established and in a temporal aspect this is the first element of the increased legislative attention to young people as carriers of labour force. The special legal regime which precedes the emergence of the employment relationship is expressed in the special procedure for employment of minors. The latter includes a mandatory preliminary thorough medical examination and a prior permission from the Labour inspectorate. Thus the special rules about the protection of youth labour are a guarantee that the labour process will not endanger the life, health and overall development of minors.
