Termination Process

Depending on the type of agreement and the grounds for termination, the termination procedure differs; depending on the contract of employment or union contract in effect. Regular and unusual dismissals come in two flavors. Regular dismissal is when a worker is let go because of incompetence or misconduct, but extraordinary dismissal occurs when a worker commits a crime, rejects a transfer, or engages in any other major violation.

Every dismissal must be communicated to the company in writing and include a chance for the employee to make a defense. The dismissal must be communicated in paper and in person for unusual dismissals.

Notice Period

The following are the ways in which seniority affects the notice period in Slovenia:

• Up to a year: 15 days.
• 1 or 2 years: 30 days.
• Over 2 years: 30 days plus 2 days for each year after 2 years of service.

The notice period decreases to 7 days and increases to 15 days for an at-fault dismissal if the worker has not completed their probationary period.

When a person is fired under an unusual circumstance, no notice time is necessary. However, the employer still needs to end the notice period within 30 days of the event that was the cause of termination.

Severance Pay

Depending on their seniority, employees have the right to severance pay:

• Between one and 10 years of service, employees earn 1/5 of the employee's three-month average wage for each year of service.
• Almost ten years of experience for each year of employment, employees receive one-fourth of your last three months' average income.
• The severance payment is 1/3 after twenty years of service.

Probation Period

In Slovenia, the employment contract for employees specifies the probationary periods. The probationary term is set at a maximum of six months. An Employer of Record in Slovenia can help companies honor this rule.

Paid Time Offs

Irrespective of whether they labor full- or part-time, workers are eligible for at least 4 weeks of annual leave pay each year. After 6 months of regular service, an employee is eligible for this payout.

By the conclusion of the current year, the employer must permit the employee to use their annual leave entitlement. The remainder of the annual leave may be utilized up until 30 June of the next year with the employer's consent, but at least two weeks must be spent by the conclusion of the current year.

Workers with kids under 15 years old are eligible for one extra day per year for each kid under the age of 15.

Public Holidays

There are 15 national holidays throughout the year.

Vacation Holidays

There are 28 vacation holidays throughout the year.

Sick Days

In Slovenia, companies need to provide sick pay for a maximum of 30 days of absence; the compensation amount is set in the contract of employment or union contract. The company is required to pay the employee 100.00% of their usual salary if they are absent because of a work-related accident or illness.

Social Security will pay for sick leave that lasts longer than 30 days up until the employee is healthy enough to resume work or their contract is over.

Following illness, an employee must give a health certificate as quickly as possible.
