Abstract
Salaries of healthcare professionals in the Republic of Croatia are regulated by a series of laws and regulations. A series of regulations defining the salaries and substantive rights of healthcare professionals cannot provide a clear, uniform and complete approach to regulating the subject matter of the law. In addition to the aforementioned issues of employment status, healthcare professionals originate from a standard that is similar and common to all public servants. In doing so, the legislature does not differentiate between a healthcare professional and his profession from an activity that deals with the protection of fundamental human values: the life and health of the individual. It is these core values that should inform not only governmental regulation of salaries and wages but also all other substantive rights, as a pledge for the smooth performance of such a highly responsible service through a clear, unambiguous and norm to precise them.

Appropriate staffing is required to perform business in any establishment
If we start from the fact that the time spent by the worker performing work at the invitation of the employer is considered as working time, if the worker, for example, worked his shift according to the schedule of working hours, and he had a standby duty after the regular working hours, and during standby responded to the employer's invitation to perform work – the worker is entitled to a salary for his regular working time, remuneration at the time determined by the collective agreement or employment contract, and if, at the invitation of the employer, he performed the work, and the right to increased overtime pay (Čizmić, Cvitković & Klarić, 2017)
Given that most healthcare professionals work in the public service system, it is important to show how the salaries of health care professionals in public services are determined while performing their work on a regular basis, overtime through on-call duty and on-call work
Summary
Appropriate staffing is required to perform business in any establishment. Healthcare requires special medical knowledge and can only be performed by people who are professionally qualified and who meet applicable legal requirements. If we start from the fact that the time spent by the worker performing work at the invitation of the employer is considered as working time, if the worker, for example, worked his shift according to the schedule of working hours, and he had a standby duty after the regular working hours, and during standby responded to the employer's invitation to perform work (e.g., emergency intervention) – the worker is entitled to a salary for his regular working time, remuneration at the time determined by the collective agreement or employment contract, and if, at the invitation of the employer, he performed the work, and the right to increased overtime pay (Čizmić, Cvitković & Klarić, 2017).. Given that most healthcare professionals work in the public service system, it is important to show how the salaries of health care professionals in public services are determined while performing their work on a regular basis, overtime through on-call duty and on-call work
