  • the foreign employer does not guarantee the rights related to working time, rest and break, night work, minimum annual leave, pay, occupational health and safety, special protection of workers and ensuring equal treatment for the workers posted to work in the RS, according to the regulations of the RS and the generally applicable industry collective agreements: from 3.000 to 20.000 € for the employer and from 450 to 2.000 € for the responsible person of the employer;

If the employer has received a fine that was finally imposed for a violation from the first or second indent of the previous paragraph, he is at the same time banned from providing services in the RS for two years starting from the day the decree of violation goes into effect.

In accordance with the Aliens Act, every foreigner wishing to reside in the RS must establish residence. If the foreigner is in Slovenia illegally or resides in the RS against the purpose for which the residence permit was issued to him, such a foreigner can be punished with a fine between 800 and 1.200 €.
