During 2017, the director of Bielopolska hospital, Biserka Bulatović, received an allowance for standby and overtime in addition to her salary almost every month, and she was also paid from the budget for supplementary work in another health institution in the amount of 100 to 500 euros.

This is shown by the report on the control of the Health Insurance Fund (FZO), which "Vijesti" received on the basis of the Law on Free Access to Information.

Inspection reports in almost all general hospitals show that overtime is paid monthly, which is not in the spirit of the Labor Law. In most documents it is written that it is impossible to determine the justification for the introduction of overtime work.

However, the FZO also said that the monthly payment of overtime for employees who do not work in jobs related to the direct provision of medical services is not justified.

Practice, however, has shown that non-medical personnel, such as drivers and administrative workers, receive overtime compensation for months in a row.

The control at the Bar general hospital revealed that the director, Dragan Tomanović, made a decision to pay a 15 percent incentive to the head of accounting, drivers, secretary, and himself for above-average work results. His average salary in 2017 was around 2.262 euros.

An inspection at the Cetinje General Hospital found that director Sonja Radojičić has an average salary of around 1.866 euros.

Every month in 2017, she received 54 euros for the master's degree and 90 euros for the subspecialist degree, while she was paid from 140 to 250 euros for her training.

Fees were paid to administrative workers for commissions for monitoring, prevention and suppression of hospital infections.

The FZO states that the payment of fees for the commissions, the work of the protector of patients' rights, is done according to the recommendations.

However, they also said that with the adoption of the Law on Salaries in the Public Sector from 2016, a limit was prescribed for the payment of fees for work in commissions.

The average salary of the director of Beran hospital Budimir Dabetić in 2017 was 2.274 euros.

He received 54 euros each month based on his scientific title, 10 euros for 120 months and 150 euros for two months for working in consiliums.

The assistant director received monthly compensation for overtime work of around 76 to 156 euros, and all drivers received 166.

The inspectors of the FZO also established that the director of the Pljeval hospital at the time received from about 66 to 357 euros per month for overtime work, and from about 108 to 149 euros for standby.

The report states that the fact that he was paid about 267 to 407 euros per month for being on duty is not in accordance with the decision on the schedule of working hours and the rulebook.

In the report, it is also written that readiness for drivers was improperly paid.

The director ordered that he be paid annual leave

The inspection report at Kotor General Hospital showed that director Ivan Ilić has an average monthly salary of around 1.700 euros.

The director, by his decision, was paid the unused vacation from 2013 and 2014 in the amount of about 2.217 euros.

Unused vacations in money were also paid to the head of the fleet, who at the same time performs the tasks of salary calculation.
