Workers in Slovenia are usually entitled to four weeks of paid vacation leave. Disabled workers and those over 55 years old are entitled to three extra days. Additionally, seven days of personal leave is common, which can be used for things like weddings and funerals.
Employees in Slovenia are entitled to paid sick leave with no limit, providing that they can prove the sickness with a doctor’s note. If the absence is unrelated to work, employees receive at least 80% of normal pay, and this rises to 100% if it is work-related. The compensation is generally covered by the employer for one month, after which the government takes responsibility.
Most female employees in Slovenia are entitled to 105 days of paid maternity leave, covered at a rate of at least 55% of normal salary. This allowance must begin at least 28 days prior to the birth date. Spouses can take 30 days of parental leave and may be granted additional days in some years, but this is dependent on the country’s economy in the year prior.
There is also an allowance of 260 days of shared childcare leave to be taken after the initial period of parental leave.
Slovenian employees are covered by the public health system, but many employers choose to provide supplementary private medical insurance.
Probation periods for employees in Slovenia are capped at six months. After this, it becomes more difficult to terminate an employment contract, and in most cases, a notice period of between 15 and 80 days will be legally required, with the length depending on the duration of an employee’s service.
Severance payments may also be required, which is between one-fifth and one-third of monthly salary for every year worked, depending on the length of service.
