In the course of 2013, the Legal and General Affairs Department implemented a procedure for voluntary termination of employment of employees in the Head Offices and in the subsidiaries of AD ELEM, in accordance with the Collective Agreement of AD ELEM, by signing written agreements for cancellation of the employment contract of employees. The employment of a total of 106 employees – 87 in REK Bitola, 8 in REK Oslomej, 6 in HPP Mavrovo, 1 in HPP Tikvesh, 2 in HPS Crn Drim, and 2 in Head Offices – was terminated in this way.
By and inclusive of 31 December 2013, the total number of employees in AD ELEM-Skopje was 4,682 workers employed for an indefinite period of time and 531 workers engaged through the Agency for Temporary Employment.

In terms of level of education, the majority of employees – 1,881 (40.18%) - has completed a IV level secondary education; 1,199 employees (25.61%) have completed a III level secondary vocational education; 532 employees or 11.36% are semi-qualified workers with a II level of education; 468 employees of 10% have a VII level of education, i.e. higher education; 280 employees (5.98%) have a I level education – unqualified workers; 141 employees (3.01%) have a VI level education, i.e. polytechnic diplomas; 123 employees (2.63%) have completed a V level education – highly qualified workers; 53 employees (1.13%) have a master’s degree and 5 employees (0.11%) have a PhD degree. Figure 1 provides a graph of the educational level of the employees.

In terms of age, the majority of the employees – 1,980 (42.29%) – are at the age of 46-55; 1,037 employees (22.15%) are in the 36-45 age group; there are 1,028 employees (21.96%) in the 56-63 age group; 550 employees (11.75%) are at the age of 26-35; 62 employees (1.32%) are up to 25 years old; and 25 employees (0.53%) are in the 64-65 age group.

Young and skilled labor force is to replace such employees, thus improving the overall age structure of the Company.
