Employment Information

Termination Process

Termination processes in Slovenia are complex and rely on the negotiated contracts or collective agreements in place. In general, termination after the probation period must be done for just cause, such as disciplinary dismissal
or low performance.
If an employee commits a serious breach of trust (i.e. a crime) termination must be delivered in writing and express the reason for the termination and must be delivered in person.

Notice period

The maximum notice period is 60 days but can vary. One year of employment requires 15 days and after one year of employment requires 30
days.

Probation Period

Not Mandatory but often range 30 days and the maximum probation period is 180 days (6 months).

Severance Details

The Companies Act governs the amount of severance pay. The payment will also be determined by the type of termination. As a result, early terminations for specific reasons will be entitled to severance pay.

If severance pay is required, the amount will vary depending on the circumstances, including the length of the employment. Wages in the following ranges can be used as a guide:

  • If the employee has been with the company for up to ten years, the severance pay will be half the average monthly gross salary for the previous three months for each year of service.
  • If the employee has worked for up to 20 years, the severance pay will be 1/4 of the average monthly gross salary for the previous three months for each year of service.
  • If the employee has been with the company for more than 20 years, severance will be equal to one-third of the employee's average monthly gross salary for the previous three months for each year of service.
