proposal type: Competent authority response
response: "Response by the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities\n\
  Analysis of the current situation\nThe area of records kept by the Employment Service\
  \ of the Republic of Slovenia ex officio is regulated by the Act on Labour Market\
  \ Regulation (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 80/10, 40/12 - ZUJF,\
  \ 21/13, 63/13, 100/13 and 32/14 ZPDZC-1; hereinafter referred to as the \"ZUTD\"\
  ), which replaced the Act on Employment and Unemployment Insurance (Official Gazette\
  \ of the Republic of Slovenia, No. It was outdated and inconsistent due to numerous\
  \ amendments, which caused many difficulties in its implementation and did not allow\
  \ for a rapid response to dynamic changes on the labour market.\nThe main purpose\
  \ of the ZUTD, which replaced the ZZZPB, is to increase jobseekers' security and\
  \ to introduce the concept of flexicurity in the labour market in the Republic of\
  \ Slovenia. In order to achieve this objective, a network of providers is envisaged,\
  \ which enables the State to react more quickly to dynamic changes in the labour\
  \ market, increases the role of lifelong career guidance in individuals' career\
  \ choices and allows for faster treatment of those unemployed persons who need it.\
  \ In addition to the existing register of unemployed persons and the register of\
  \ persons covered by ALMP measures, the ZUTD introduced, inter alia, a register\
  \ of jobseekers.\nPursuant to Article 8 of the Unemployed Persons Register, persons\
  \ may register in the Unemployed Persons Register if they fulfil the following conditions\
  \ at the time of registration: they are fit for work, registered with the institution,\
  \ are actively seeking employment and are willing to accept suitable or suitable\
  \ employment offered to them by the institution or another provider of employment\
  \ intermediation services, and they are not in an employment relationship and are\
  \ not self-employed. are not managers of a partnership, a one-person company: limited\
  \ by guarantee or an institution, are not farmers, are not pupils, apprentices,\
  \ students or adult learners under 26 years of age.\nHowever, in accordance with\
  \ Article 131 of the LSA, all persons in need of the measures provided to jobseekers\
  \ under the LSA (i.e. employed, self-employed, retired, housewives, pupils, students\
  \ or otherwise inactive who are looking for (other) employment or in need of the\
  \ measures provided to jobseekers under the LSA) may register in the register of\
  \ jobseekers.\nBy registering in the register, persons acquire the status of unemployed\
  \ person or jobseeker. The statuses give rise to different rights and obligations.\n\
  By entering the register of unemployed persons, a person acquires the right to:\n\
  \ job placement, information on the labour market, personal counsellor, job search\
  \ and job search assistance, travel and postage reimbursement for active job search,\
  \ training in job search and career management skills, support in career decision-making,\
  \ assistance in the use of tools for independent career management,\nand the possibility\
  \ to:\n Joining active employment policy (AEP) programmes and claiming unemployment\
  \ insurance benefits.\nThe obligations of a person registered in the unemployment\
  \ register are:\n regularly monitoring job vacancy notices and applying for them\
  \ on time, responding to invitations and referrals from the institute or the unemployment\
  \ office. Participation in job interviews at the invitation of the employer, the\
  \ institution or other providers of measures, reporting to the institution within\
  \ 15 days of the expiry of the deadline for the implementation of the last agreed\
  \ activity set out in the employment plan, if the person has not received an invitation\
  \ to the next counselling interview, implementation of all the agreed activities\
  \ in the employment plan, participation in labour market measures to increase employment\
  \ opportunities, accepting a job and making efforts to obtain a job at the job interview,\
  \ communicating true information and changes to it within 3 days of the change occurring,\
  \ agreeing in advance with the personal adviser to be exempted from the obligation\
  \ to look for a job and informing the institution within 8 days where prior agreement\
  \ is not possible, implementing the other activities agreed in the job plan. \n\
  By entering the jobseekers' register, the person acquires the right to:\n information\
  \ on the labour market, assistance in using tools for self-management of career,\
  \ job placement in accordance with the employment objectives and the agreement with\
  \ the employer, inclusion in the ALMP programmes (in accordance with the catalogue\
  \ of ALMPs).\nThe law requires jobseekers to report to the Jobseekers' Centre at\
  \ least once within 6 months of registration to confirm their need for labour market\
  \ measures (otherwise they will be removed from the jobseekers' register).\n \n\
  Analysis of the proposal and reasons for its (in)suitability\nHaving examined the\
  \ proposal submitted, we consider that the proposal to abolish the jobseekers' register\
  \ is not appropriate. As described above, the register of unemployed persons and\
  \ the register of jobseekers are intended for different target groups.\nA person\
  \ registered in the register of jobseekers has significantly fewer obligations than\
  \ a person registered in the register of unemployed persons, but the latter has\
  \ more rights by virtue of his/her status (in addition to a wider range of ALMPs\
  \ and labour market services, the possibility of claiming all the unemployment insurance\
  \ benefits to which a jobseeker may not be entitled), with the primary obligation\
  \ being to look for a job; the unemployed person's circumstances make it possible\
  \ for him/her to be available to a potential employer for a job right away, the\
  \ same day or the next day. On the other hand, a person registered as a jobseeker\
  \ may (potentially) have other pressing commitments (e.g. a student with study commitments)\
  \ and therefore cannot be expected to be as responsive and intensive in their job\
  \ search as an unemployed person. At this point, we would like to point out that\
  \ students would not be able to register as unemployed even if the register of jobseekers\
  \ were abolished, as the status of student and unemployment are incompatible (the\
  \ same arrangement existed at the time of the entry into force of the Employment\
  \ and Social Security Act). At the same time, we would like to point out that registration\
  \ in the register of unemployed or the register of jobseekers is not compulsory,\
  \ but is a matter of voluntary decision of each individual.\n "
