Has Slovenia yet fully transposed the requirements of the Pay Transparency Directive? If yes, what was the implementation date and what is the name of the legislation?
No.
If the Pay Transparency Directive has not yet been transposed, what steps have been taken towards implementation?
No procedural steps have yet been taken towards the implementation of the Pay Transparency Directive.
Although the Pay Transparency Directive has not yet been transposed, the current Employment Act (ZDR-1), in force since 31 December 2023, includes an “equal pay for equal work” provision. Art. 133 ZDR-1 states:
- an employer shall pay equal pay to workers for equal work and work of equal value, irrespective of their gender
- provisions of an employer’s employment contract, collective agreement or general regulation which are contrary to the preceding paragraph shall be invalid
At the same time, the prohibition of discrimination (including on the basis of gender and in relation to pay) is a fundamental principle of ZDR-1, and is enshrined in Art. 6.
