Response from the competent authority: Response of the Ministry of Labour, Family,
  Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities:At the outset, we would like to point out
  that the provisions of the Act on Prevention of Undeclared Work and Employment (Official
  Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia No.32/14, hereinafter referred to as the "ZPDZC-1"),
  which relate to the new regulation of the ODD, have been applicable since 1 January
  2015, when the Regulation entered into force. The ZPDZC-1 and the Regulations divide
  the work that can be performed as ODD into two basic groups (depending on the type
  of work and who is obliged to purchase the value ticket). We would like to stress
  that the key objectives of the law were to increase the powers and the basis for
  more efficient work of the supervisory authorities, to define more clearly the individual
  concepts and measures, to tighten the sanctions for offenders, to simplify the administration
  and, of course, to reduce the scope of work and illegal employment. The system should
  therefore be seen in its entirety, since the vouchers provide the basis for the
  work to be carried out, thereby ensuring that the service or work is not being carried
  out in an undeclared manner, and that contributions are paid in respect of the work
  in question and, consequently, taxes are also paid, insofar as the person concerned
  is a taxable person. This ensures that individuals have basic social security, that
  they have access to the list of registered individuals and that, by purchasing a
  voucher, the individual is legally providing a service or carrying out work. It
  should be noted that penalties have also been increased to a considerable extent,
  so on the other hand it is necessary to provide a preventive possibility for the
  contracting authorities to verify the legality of the work of individuals performing
  ODD and thus avoid infringements of the law and the consequent possible imposition
  of penalties. As regards the bureaucracy of the system itself, we would like to
  make it clear that throughout the drafting of the law, as well as in its implementation,
  we have endeavoured to design a system that places as little burden as possible
  on the individual carrying out the work and on the contracting authorities themselves.
  It is for this reason that the introduction of a flat-rate contribution scale has
  been introduced, which is much simpler for both individuals and clients than linking
  the payment of contributions to the income actually received, and it is also the
  simplest and therefore the cheapest in terms of the implementation of the system
  itself. We would also point out that the e-administration will also include the
  possibility of purchasing the voucher electronically, which will further simplify
  the system, which is why we do not consider that there is currently a demonstrated
  need to change the way in which work is carried out in the context of personal supplementary
  employment.
