Slovenia EOR & PEO services
Slovenia offers a diverse range of PEO/EOR employment opportunities, attracting both domestic and international talent to contribute to its thriving workforce.
PEO/EOR employment termination and notice period in Slovenia
In Slovenia, two types of dismissals can be found.
The first one is the regular dismissal, which occurs in the event of redundancy, inability or delinquency. In this case, the notice period for dismissal is between 15 to 80 days, depending on the duration of the contract.
The second one is the extraordinary dismissal, which occurs when an employee commits fraud and other serious violations. With this type of dismissal, the notice period can be extended due to the fact that employees must be provided with an opportunity to defend themselves. In the case of extraordinary dismissal, the employer must deliver in person a letter which includes the reason for termination.
Furthermore, if an employee is on a trial period or the so-called temporary contract, he or she is required to give notice seven days prior to the termination.
