Posting Employees to Slovenia – Key Information
Do you have work that needs to be done in Slovenia and plan to send an employee abroad? Then obtaining an A1 certificate is always required — regardless of what the job is, when it takes place, or how long it lasts.
While the process is straightforward, it can be time-consuming. But one thing is clear: the A1 must always be submitted.
Does the Posted Workers Directive Apply to You?
The more complex question is whether the employee must also be registered under the Posted Workers Directive (PWD).
All EU countries apply the PWD, but the registration requirements vary significantly.
The PWD ensures that posted workers enjoy the same employment rights as local workers in the host country. This includes:
- Salary and overtime
- Paid holidays and leave
- Maternity and parental rights
- Working hours and rest time
- Safety and work conditions
Key Compliance Points
- You must keep documentation
of the employee’s working hours and workplace safety available at the
service location. - You may deliver services in
Slovenia without a work permit if local working conditions and
collective agreements are respected. - To keep the employee under the
Danish social security system, you must apply for and hold a valid A1
certificate.
As employer you must comply with the rules and collective agreements on the working environment, discrimination, working hours, holidays,parental leave, salary and taxes. General information about posting employee to Slovenia HERE
To assess whether PWD applies in your case, consider:
- Is your company registered in Slovenia?
- Are you a non-EU company delivering short-term services involving goods or maintenance in Slovenia?
- Are you a non-EU company providing services under contract with an EU-based customer?
- and so on…
