Employment and Immigration

WTS Slovenia provides comprehensive legal support to employers and internationally mobile employees throughout the entire employment and assignment lifecycle. Our services cover Slovenian employment law, immigration procedures, work and residence permits, cross-border assignments, remote-working arrangements, and termination procedures.

We assist foreign companies, international groups, executives, and employees in establishing legally compliant working arrangements in Slovenia. Our integrated approach ensures that employment and immigration matters are coordinated with the related tax, payroll, and social security requirements.

Employment Agreements and Assignment Documentation

We draft and review employment agreements, secondment agreements, assignment letters, and other employment-related documentation. We ensure that contractual arrangements comply with Slovenian employment law and reflect the agreed remuneration, benefits, duties, and working conditions.

Immigration and Residence Support

We assist EU and non-EU nationals with the immigration formalities required to live and work in Slovenia. Our support includes determining the appropriate procedure, preparing applications, reviewing supporting documentation, and communicating with the competent authorities.

Work and Residence Permits

We support employers and employees throughout work and residence permit procedures, including applications, renewals, amendments, and related registrations. We also help companies monitor permit validity and ongoing compliance obligations.

Cross-Border Assignments and Secondments

We advise on the legal aspects of inbound and outbound assignments, secondments, and temporary cross-border work. Our services include reviewing assignment structures, preparing the required documentation, and assessing compliance with applicable employment and posting-of-workers rules.

Remote and Hybrid Working

We assist employers in establishing compliant remote and hybrid-working arrangements involving Slovenia. This includes reviewing contractual terms, workplace requirements, working time, expense reimbursement, data protection, and other employment-law considerations.

Changes to Employment Conditions

We advise on amendments to employment agreements, changes in position or remuneration, working-time arrangements, and internal transfers. We prepare the necessary documentation and help employers implement changes in accordance with Slovenian employment law.

Termination Procedures

We support employers with individual and collective termination procedures, including the preparation of documentation and advice on valid grounds, notice periods, severance payments, and final employee entitlements. We also assist with mutual termination agreements and related deregistration formalities.

Employment Policies and Compliance

We prepare and review internal employment policies, rules, and procedures. We also help employers assess employment-law risks and align their internal practices with Slovenian requirements.
