I propose that employers should no longer be allowed to pay a worker a bonus up to the minimum wage. This is because in many companies in Slovenia, despite the increase in the minimum wage, employees are paid a minimum wage supplement.
They are doing harm not to themselves, but to the worker, who does not receive a higher wage than he could have received if the company had not given him a minimum wage supplement.
Example:
A worker has a contract stating that he has a basic salary of €810 GROSS. On €810 gross he still gets a minimum wage supplement of €130.58.
But the worker will get all the allowances due to him calculated on €810 gross and not on €940.58.
And that is why he is also disadvantaged in the length-of-service allowance:
Calculated on 810€ gross length of service:
-2% length of service allowance-16,20€ gross
-3% length-of-service allowance-€24,30 gross
-5% length-of-service increment-40.50€ gross
Calculated at 940,58€
-2% seniority allowance-18,80€ gross
-3% length of service increment- 28,21€ gross
-5% seniority allowance-47,5€ gross
Then where are all the other allowances due to the worker, all of which are calculated at €810 gross. This is just an example
There are even higher allowances up to the minimum wage
It must therefore be legislated immediately that employers are no longer allowed to pay a worker a supplement to the minimum wage, but must pay the worker the minimum wage set by law.
Otherwise, all prices have gone up and it will be the little people who will be short-changed again. And the companies will boast about the profits they have made.
