In the event of ordinary individual or collective cancellation of the employment contract by the employer for a business reason, the notice period shall be:
An 'economic dependant' (defined as a self-employed person who performs work in person, independently and for remuneration for a longer period of time in circumstances of economic dependency and who does not employ workers) is provided with limited labour law protection, including assurance of minimum notice periods. Economic dependency means that a person obtains at least 80% of his or her annual income from the same contracting authority.
A fixed-term employment contract terminates without notice upon the expiry of the time period for which it was concluded.
The notice period can be shorter if the employer and the employee agree on appropriate compensation. This agreement must be in written form.
Between 2018 and 2019, redundant workers were obliged to register with the Employment Service of Slovenia within three days after the notification of termination of employment. Redundant workers also had the duty to participate in the active labour market support measures. In December 2019, the amended Labour Market Regulation Act (ZUTD-E) cancelled this rule. On the other hand, the same law introduced an incentive for employment while receiving unemployment benefits for some categories (low-educated workers who have not completed primary education or who have completed primary education, lower vocational education, or upper secondary school).
The benefits are equal to 20% of the monthly net unemployment benefit granted on the date of conclusion of the employment contract. The maximum length of employment incentive is twelve months.
