Global Mobility

At WTS Slovenia, we provide comprehensive global mobility services to foreign and domestic companies employing or assigning individuals in Slovenia. We support employers, employees, executives, and internationally mobile professionals with the legal, tax, payroll, and social security aspects of working across borders.

Our services cover the full employment lifecycle — from the preparation of employment documentation and payroll simulations to social security registration, monthly payroll calculation and compliance, employment tax compliance, and termination procedures. We combine knowledge of Slovenian labour law, tax law, and social security regulations with cross-border experience to ensure that international employment arrangements are compliant, efficient, and properly managed. 

Employment and assignment structuring

We advise foreign companies and international groups on the appropriate employment or assignment structure for individuals working in Slovenia. This includes assessing whether a local employment contract, secondment, remote work arrangement, management contract, or other engagement model is suitable from a legal, tax, payroll, and social security perspective.

Drafting employment agreements

We assist with the preparation and review of employment agreements in line with Slovenian labour law and the specific needs of the employer. Our support includes drafting key employment terms, compensation provisions, benefits, working time arrangements, confidentiality clauses, and other relevant contractual provisions.

Payroll simulations and analysis

We prepare payroll simulations to help employers and employees understand the expected Slovenian tax and social security burden. Our analysis can include gross-to-net and net-to-gross calculations, cost projections for the employer, comparison of compensation packages, and assessment of tax-efficient remuneration options.

Ongoing payroll calculation

We provide monthly payroll calculation services for companies employing individuals in Slovenia. This includes calculation of salaries, benefits, tax withholdings, social security contributions, reimbursements, and other employment-related payments in accordance with Slovenian regulations.

Social security registration and compliance

We support employers and employees with registration in the Slovenian social security system and related compliance obligations. In cross-border cases, we also assist in assessing applicable social security legislation and coordinating the necessary documentation.

Employment tax compliance

We advise on employment-related tax obligations, including salary taxation, benefits in kind, reimbursements, bonuses, expatriate allowances, and reporting requirements. Our services help ensure that payroll and employment income are treated correctly for Slovenian tax purposes.

Cross-border employment and remote work

We support companies with cross-border employment arrangements, including inbound employees, secondments, remote work from Slovenia, and international assignments. Our advice covers personal income tax, employer obligations, payroll withholding, social security, permanent establishment risk, and practical compliance requirements.

Termination procedures in labour law

We assist employers with employment termination procedures in accordance with Slovenian labour law. This includes support with termination documentation, calculation of final payments, notice periods, severance pay, and related payroll and tax implications.
