There are various ways to employ people in Slovenia, each with differing levels of costs and compliance:

Employee is employed by you and paid by you from your overseas Company

• Pros: It seems to be the the cheapest and easiest.
• Cons: It does not allow for the payment of legally required social security contributions, and Slovenian employment law will still apply to the employee.

Entity Set-up

• Pros: This option could be the most cost-effective for employing a large number of personnel, typically more than 15.
• Cons: Setting up a legal business entity and ensuring compliance with Slovenian employment and tax regulations can be costly and time-consuming, particularly for smaller operations. It often becomes impractical for businesses with fewer than 15 employees.

Using an Employer of Record

• Pros: In Slovenia, using an Employer of Record service is the most time- and cost-effective solution for managing payroll, HR, and compliance tasks, especially for teams smaller than 15 employees.
• Cons: It can be expensive when hiring a large number of employees, and selecting the right Employer of Record provider can be challenging.

Hire a contractor in Slovenia

• Pros: This solution is cost-effective when the worker is not exclusive to your company and can send a substitute in their absence.
• Cons: Employing a full-time worker dedicated solely to your company without proper classification is a legal violation in Slovenia. Penalties for misclassification can include fines and even criminal charges.

Failing to do so breaches Slovenian employment law.

Misclassifying an employee can result in significant fines, the need to pay outstanding holiday pay and social security contributions, the potential requirement to establish a local presence, and possible legal action from the employee for violations of their employment rights.

The initial steps to establishing your business in Slovenia include registering with the Commercial Register and obtaining a trade license from the relevant authorities.

While the registration process may seem straightforward, additional complexities arise when setting up a physical office for tax purposes, opening a Slovenian bank account (which often requires an in-person visit), managing payroll software that complies with Slovenian regulations, and meeting tax filing obligations.

Hiring people in Slovenia involves meeting specific legal obligations. Simply put, HR compliance ensures your company adheres to all employment and work practice regulations.

Why is this so important? HR compliance in Slovenia is more than a formality; it protects both your employees and your business. Adhering to employment regulations ensures fair treatment for your workforce, including aspects like sick leave, annual leave, minimum wage, and proper working hours. This not only creates a positive work environment but also reduces the risk of financial penalties, legal issues, and potential lawsuits due to non-compliance.

In Slovenia, both employers and employees are required to pay taxes and social security contributions. Employers make contributions to various social security funds, including pensions, health insurance, and unemployment insurance for all employees. Employees are required to contribute to these social security funds as well, and they also pay personal income tax.

Employees working under a Slovenia Employer of Record enjoy legal protections and a standard employment contract, which includes statutory benefits such as maternity leave, annual leave, and sick pay, as well as applicable tax credits. Additionally, the public healthcare system in Slovenia provides coverage for all residents, not just employees.
