140th regular session of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia

SLOVENIA, February 6 - The Government discussed the starting points for drafting the proposal for an act on salaries and other remunerations to public employees for work abroad

The Government discussed the starting points for drafting the proposal for an act on salaries and other remunerations to public employees for work abroad, submitted to the Economic and Social Council by the Ministry of Public Administration.

The proposed starting points for drafting a new act to regulate the salaries and other remunerations to public employees and officials working abroad, which is scheduled to enter into force by no later than 1 January 2026, contains indicative starting points for a systemic reform of salaries and other remunerations to all seconded public employees and officials, and an appropriate regulation of possible exemptions or specificities of individual departments.

Principal solutions that deviate from the current regulations:

• the basic salary for work abroad is determined in a gross amount that is known and anticipated in advance and no longer depends on any possible change in the cost of living index;
• the allowance for living expenses abroad will be redetermined, so as to reflect the actual cost of living in a particular location or country of secondment, and will be adjusted for the cost of living index;
• a new evaluation of jobs, functions and titles will be made, so as to ensure a proportional range between pay grades or levels, eliminating the existing pay disparities.
