THE LEGAL AND SOCIAL FRAMEWORK

When illness affects work and social security, and you have to find your way through rights, procedures and institutions in Slovenia.

03

  • Sick leave and ZZZS — Slovenian procedures, decisions, deadlines, legal remedies and next steps.
  • Disability insurance and ZPIZ — the Slovenian procedure for assessing disability and the rights that may be available when working capacity is reduced.
  • Work when health affects your ability to work — shorter working hours, reassignment, workplace adjustments, vocational rehabilitation and returning to work under Slovenian law.
  • Decisions and procedures — what an institution's decision means for you, where you are in the process and what options you have from there.
  • Social welfare rights — understanding your rights, navigating Slovenian institutions and knowing where to turn in your situation.
  • Communication with institutions and your employer — preparing for conversations, clearly explaining your situation and limitations, and raising your questions.
