The Slovenian labour market is mostly regulated by the Employment Relationship Act, which was adopted in 2002 and amended in 2013. This article focuses on the most burning questions of the Slovenian individual employment relationship. The biggest issue is how to combat precarious work of various forms, among which the most problematic is false self-employment. Although being claimed as independent, self-employed work under similar conditions as regularly employed. Strongly connected with this phenomenon is the question of working time as employers tend to reduce the number of workers, and consequently the remaining workers do more working hours than they are supposed to do. Additionally, there are a lot of legal challenges related to dismissals, especially when employers are determining justifying reasons and fulfilling the formal requirements for dismissal.
