gov.si (24.03.2020) A set of measures to preserve jobs will be implemented:

  •  a new regime of co-financing wages for temporarily laid-off workers will be established. All contributions for temporarily laid-off employees in the following two months – from entry into force to 31 May 2020 with the possibility of an extension if the situation continues – that must be paid into both the healthcare and pension insurance schemes will be covered by the state, and the insured persons' rights will be preserved. Affected self-employed workers will be exempt from the payment of contributions (also until May 31, 2020).
  • Sick pay for all workers during the epidemic from the first day onwards will be covered by the Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia, not the employer.
  •  Persons employed and activated in sectors that are key in overcoming the epidemic will be rewarded with an increase in their basic salary by between 10% and 200%, based on the decision of their superiors, in the form of hazard pay and higher workload bonuses.
