Response from the competent authority: "Reply from the Employment Agency of the Republic\
  \ of Slovenia:We cannot give a more precise answer on the basis of what has been\
  \ written, because we do not know all the circumstances, or how and when in the\
  \ specific case the unemployed person and the Agency's advisor agreed on the reporting\
  \ of absences, we can only give a general answer.\r\nThe Institute operates with\
  \ unemployed persons on a multi-channel basis and there is daily communication by\
  \ phone, SMS and e-mail.\r\nArticle 44 of the Regulation on registration and deregistration\
  \ from the registers, the employment plan, rights and obligations in job search\
  \ and supervision of persons registered in the registers (Official Gazette of the\
  \ Republic of Slovenia, No 106/10, 10/14 and 98/15) sets out the justifiable reasons\
  \ for not searching for a job, the manner and duration of the agreement on this.\
  \ Without a prior agreement in the employment plan, the abandonment of active job\
  \ search is excusable provided that the person informs the institution within 8\
  \ days after the reasons cease to exist and, at the request of the institution,\
  \ provides appropriate evidence that, for justified reasons, a prior agreement in\
  \ the employment plan was not possible.\r\nArticle 39 of the same Regulation stipulates\
  \ that the employment plan must be signed in manuscript by an official of the institution\
  \ and the unemployed person. By signing the Job Plan, the signatories assume all\
  \ the obligations arising therefrom and also agree on the justifiable reasons for\
  \ not actively seeking employment for a specified period. According to Article 36\
  \ of the Regulation, the employment plan can also be drawn up electronically, but\
  \ the Institute does not yet provide for signing with an electronic qualified certificate,\
  \ which is why, until the introduction of this option (by December 2016), it is\
  \ necessary to sign the employment plan in person at the premises.Further clarification\
  \ by the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities (January\
  \ 2017):\r\nDuring the summer months, the Institute obtained from the Ministry of\
  \ Public Administration the electronic signature component for documents used in\
  \ the state and public administration. In autumn 2016, the Institute started to\
  \ implement the component in its system and made decisions on how to introduce it\
  \ in its customer procedures. In the first phase, they decided to use the signature\
  \ component only in administrative matters, as it is easier to test it there. They\
  \ also need to import the documents they will sign with this digital certificate\
  \ on their portals into their EDS (electronic document system).\r\nIn the first\
  \ three months of 2017, the Institute wants to introduce electronic signatures on\
  \ two services for employers. In the last weeks of January, public works contractors\
  \ will be able to electronically sign the Final Substantive and Financial Reports\
  \ for public works, and in March they will be able to sign the Final Report for\
  \ the First Challenge programme. This will be followed by other services available\
  \ to employers, which require the signature of the employer.\r\nThe 2017 Business\
  \ Plan of the Jobseekers' Centre states that the Portal for Unemployed Persons and\
  \ Jobseekers will also allow electronic signing of documents. In the first phase,\
  \ this will certainly only apply to administrative matters (registration of unemployed\
  \ persons and submission of claims for cash benefits - de-bureaucratisation of existing\
  \ procedures).\r\nHowever, the implementation of the signing of job plans by e-mail\
  \ requires a detailed and thorough review of all processes by the Institute, since\
  \ the job plan is not an administrative process but a consultancy process, where\
  \ an appropriate agreement must be concluded between the consultant and the unemployed\
  \ person."
