Slovenian McDonald's is aimed at offering an opportunity to active retirees who have the desire for work and social engagement, started a project of occasional or temporary work for pensioners at McDonald's family-oriented restaurants. The tender was applied for over 100 pensioners, which were dominated by women. Already January 9, 2017 the first four retirees will start working in Ljubljana (Grain, Coliseum and Mine) and Maribor (Swaty).
There will be work assignments for the 'young at heart' taking care of a tidy dining room and socializing with guests. Based on the reactions of 'fresh blood' and customers, McDonald's will continue with the project also in other restaurants. There are as many as 18 of them in Slovenia. This is the first time that Slovenian McDonald's has started working with pensioners, while this is already an established practice abroad. He regulates this kind of work amendment to the Labor Market Regulation Act.
