Response from the competent authority: Response of the Ministry of Public Administration:We
  would like to point out that in the past, in terms of removing administrative barriers,
  we at the Ministry of Public Administration, together with employers' associations,
  have worked hard to simplify or shorten recruitment procedures, which has happened
  to some extent with the latest labour market reform.In April 2013, an amendment
  to the Labour Market Act came into force, which abolished the obligation to publish
  vacancies on the premises and on the website of the Employment Service of the Republic
  of Slovenia (the Employment Service of the Republic of Slovenia). Employers are
  now relieved of the administrative burden of having to publish the need for an employee
  at the Employment Service. Before the change, the procedure itself could take up
  to 14 days, but now the time limit has been significantly reduced.However, the Employment
  Relations Act still stipulates that every job (with the exception of the exceptions
  set out in Article 26 of the Labour Code) must be publicly advertised. This means
  that the employer may publish it on its website, make it known to the public at
  its business premises, use various employment portals or websites or publish it
  in the media. In 2014, the Ministry of Public Administration (formerly the Ministry
  of the Interior), in cooperation with representatives of the Ministry of Labour,
  Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities, prepared an amendment to the Aliens
  Act, which introduces a single work and residence permit to be obtained at a single
  entry point.As a result of the amendments, it is expected that foreign nationals
  will have a faster and easier access to residence and work permits, as Slovenian
  legislation introduces a single application procedure for obtaining residence and
  work permits for foreigners at a single point of entry, the administrative unit.
  The single permit is intended for all foreign nationals who will apply for a permit
  for employment or work, as well as for those who will apply for a permit to carry
  out seasonal work, to work as a self-employed person, to provide cross-border services
  as a posted worker and as a daily labour migrant.The "one-stop-shop" principle will
  allow the foreigner or his/her employer to submit a single application for a permit
  (for residence and work) at one place, i.e. at the administrative unit or at the
  competent diplomatic mission or consulate of the Republic of Slovenia abroad. This
  principle removes administrative obstacles and simplifies the procedure for obtaining
  work and residence permits. The time limit for a decision on the issue of a single
  permit is reduced from 60 to 30 days, and in special procedures the time limit will
  be 60 days.The issue of a single permit is also linked to the adaptation of the
  Act on Employment, Self-employment and Work of Foreigners, which must follow the
  changes made under the Aliens Act. The draft law is currently in the inter-ministerial
  coordination phase and its adoption is expected in the first half of this year,
  which, as already mentioned, will have an impact on the reduction of burdens related
  to the employment of foreigners.We would like to point out that the simplified and
  significantly shorter procedure for the employment of a worker is one of the measures
  included in the Single Document for a Better Regulatory and Business Environment
  (the Single Document), which is being coordinated by the Ministry of Public Administration
  together with the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology. The Single Document
  represents a set of concrete measures to improve the regulatory and business environment
  and increase the competitiveness of the Slovenian economy, which are implemented
  in cooperation with other ministries.In order to monitor the level of implementation
  of the measures contained in the Single Document by the interested public, the Ministry
  of Public Administration has prepared an online application "Implementation of measures
  for a better regulatory and business environment", which allows users to have an
  overview of all the measures contained in the Single Document in one place, and
  to monitor the implementation of the measures for a better business environment.
  In addition to descriptions of the content, graphical and tabular displays of the
  individual measures are also available. This allows the user to obtain additional
  information on the responsiveness of each ministry in relation to the measures in
  the area covered by the ministry. The search engine is very useful, as is the function
  whereby the user can aggregate the data of particular interest into an individual
  report. The application is available to all interested parties on the Government's
  website and also on the STOPbirokraciji website.In the area of removing administrative
  barriers, many measures have been implemented in cooperation with the authorities
  in the individual areas over the past years, but we are aware that we must continue
  to work intensively in the future, as only in this way can we provide Slovenian
  business with a supportive and efficient legal environment.
