proposal type: Competent authority response
response: " Response by the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Affairs\nAt the\
  \ time the proposal was made on www.predlagam.vladi.si, the Ministry of Labour,\
  \ Family and Social Affairs was already preparing the groundwork for the drafting\
  \ of the Small Labour Act, which aims to reorganise the system of student work,\
  \ while also extending the possibility of flexible and casual work through referrals\
  \ to other target groups, especially pensioners and potentially also the unemployed.\
  \ The document \"Expert basis and starting points for the preparation of a law on\
  \ small-scale work\" is currently under public consultation and published on the\
  \ website of the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Affairs, and a dialogue with\
  \ representatives of students and pensioners is already underway.  \nWe note that\
  \ the proposal you have sent us largely highlights the same problematic points of\
  \ the current regulation of student work that we have also highlighted in the starting\
  \ points for the drafting of the Small Labour Act:\n By introducing contributions\
  \ to pension and invalidity insurance, we want to ensure that work done while studying\
  \ counts proportionately towards pensionable service, while also ensuring that work\
  \ experience is formally taken into account when looking for a job.  At the same\
  \ time, the introduction of social security contributions also means a higher burden\
  \ for small-scale work compared to the existing student work, so that small-scale\
  \ work will be brought closer to, or even equal to, employment in terms of the burden\
  \ of contributions.  Small-scale work will retain the flexible character that student\
  \ work currently has in the labour market - it will be carried out through referrals,\
  \ without additional administration.  Small work will be limited - we propose both\
  \ a time limit and a limit on the amount that an individual can earn in a calendar\
  \ year, in order to encourage students to devote themselves to their studies, to\
  \ complete them as soon as possible and to get a regular job. We also propose to\
  \ define the activity of small job placement as a non-profit activity in order to\
  \ limit abuses by student services.  Stronger penalties are also envisaged in case\
  \ of detected infringements and more effective supervision and monitoring of the\
  \ implementation of small-scale labour brokering.  \nFor more information on the\
  \ orientations of the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Affairs on the new regulation\
  \ of student work, see the \"Expert basis and starting points for the preparation\
  \ of the law on small-scale work\" (http://www.mddsz.gov.si/si/zakonodaja_in_dokumenti/predpisi_v_pripravi...).\
  \ Concrete solutions for the Small Labour Act, which will also entail radical changes\
  \ in the regulation of student labour, will be prepared on the basis of comments\
  \ received from civil society, dialogue with representatives of students and pensioners\
  \ and social partners. The solutions you have put forward in your proposal, and\
  \ all the responses to your proposal, will also be considered in this context."
