I propose that Article 149 of the Civil Servants Act, which provides in paragraph 2 that ''A transfer for reasons of professional necessity shall be admissible in the territory of the Republic of Slovenia only if the place of work in the case of the transfer is not more than 70 km or more than an hour's drive by public transport from the previous place of work.'' should be amended by replacing the phrase 'more than an hour's journey time by public transport' with 'more than an hour's journey time.' The place of work should be the exact address or location where the individual is working, not a lump-sum location (e.g. Ljubljana - we all know there is a huge difference between working next to the main station or somewhere at the end of Vič, it's a difference of half an hour!).
The current system is highly discriminatory and treats workers unequally, as it only takes into account the time taken to travel by public transport as a criterion, but does not take into account the time it takes for the worker to get to public transport in the first place, nor does it take into account the waiting time between individual trains/buses if the worker has to change trains, and the waiting time can be very long for connections between smaller places, in practice up to an hour or more.
In practice, this means that one worker, whose workplace is next to a station, can easily get to work in one hour, while another worker has to first walk to the station (this time is not taken into account anywhere under current legislation), then take a train for, say, 45 minutes, go to a nearby bus stop (this time is not taken into account anywhere), wait for a bus (this time is also not taken into account anywhere, even if it is one hour!) and then take the bus for, say, 12 minutes, and then walk to the place where he/she has a job (this time is also not taken into account).
I also suggest that the transport costs should be those which enable the worker to get to work within one hour or a reasonable time by public transport, rather than the cheapest option for the employer or the State, which is unworkable in practice.
This is because the cost of transport to work is not calculated in the same way as under the current system (no more than an hour's journey by public transport), but rather the cheapest option is sought, which would be fine if it did not mean, under this option, the worker would have to commute for almost as long as his working day, i.e. 8 hours, which is impossible, so he is forced to find a more expensive and faster connection, which means that he does not cover the cost of his transport at all.
 
A practical example: a staff member would have to leave home at 4:45 in the morning! first walk to the public transport station, then drive to the train station (and even here there is a distance of a few hundred metres in between), board the train, drive past where he works, drive for another 15 minutes or so, disembark, wait for the train going in the opposite direction, i.e. back, drive to the station closest to where he works, and then walk another kilometre or so. He would get to work at 7:15 (if he is a really good walker). The distance from home to work is about 60 kilometres...it takes 2 and a half hours!
