Objectives: Identify differences among employers in their attitudes upon recruitment and concerning the work of people with disabilities considering the level of formal education of employers, as well as concerning the length of employers’ service and the number of employees in the company. Study design: A cross-sectional study conducted in Međimurje County and in Varaždin County Respondents and methods: 106 respondents from throughout both Međimurje County and Varaždin County participated in the research. Online survey was used as research instrument and it was conducted through Google Disc. Results: Out of 106 employers who participated in the research, most of them were from limited liability companies (47%), involved in a wide range of activities, most frequently hiring up to 10 employees (52%). 29 employers have thus far hired people with disabilities, while 77 employers have not done that yet. The most frequent reasons for unemployment among people with disabilities is unsuitability of workplace. Moreover, employers are faced with huge difficulties when they need to adapt audio signalling to hearing-impaired people and due to the fact that such people may find speech incomprehensible. Out of a total number of employers, a higher interest in recruiting people with disabilities was shown by employers who hold a university degree and among those who have already recruited such people and hence they expect to face less difficulties. Conclusion: Employment of any person with a disability is linked with a broad range of obstacles and prejudices. People with disabilities are considered among the least desirable on the labour market and employers are among the most important factors in their recruitment process. Social barriers need to be highlighted as the principal issue for persons with developmental disabilities. If we are striving to change the attitude in the surroundings towards people with disabilities, we need to provide conditions that will enable interaction among people with developmental disabilities and those who are not faced with such disabilities. Employers need to be informed about the potential of these people at work and about the evaluation of their contribution to work organisation through loyalty, commitment to work and reliability. The right to work is the right granted to every citizen of the Republic of Croatia and hence that also applies to people with disabilities.
