Response from the competent authority: In our response to the proposal, we clarify
  the following:An employment relationship is a relationship between an employee and
  an employer, and one of the essential elements of this relationship is work for
  pay. The obligation to pay the employer in return for the personal performance of
  work is a fundamental contractual obligation of the employer. Article 44 of the
  Labour Relations Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia No 21/2013, hereinafter
  referred to as the 'LRA-1') provides that the employer must ensure that the employee
  receives appropriate remuneration for the performance of the work in accordance
  with the provisions of Articles 126 to 130, 133 to 135 and 137 of the LRA. Remuneration
  for the performance of the work is therefore a fundamental obligation of the employer,
  which in turn constitutes one of the employee's essential rights under the employment
  relationship. For this reason, the law gives the employee the possibility to terminate
  the employment contract summarily in the event of a substantial reduction in wages
  or failure to pay wages within the legally or contractually agreed time limit (Article
  111 ZDR-1). The law also provides for a criminal sanction for an employer who fails
  to pay wages to an employee (Article 217 ZDR-1).With regard to the payment of wages
  itself, we would like to further point out that the employer is obliged to provide
  the wages to the employee on the payday or at the latest 18 days after the end of
  the pay period, and that the employer is obliged to issue the employee with a written
  statement by the end of the payday, showing the details of the wages, wage compensation,
  reimbursement of work-related expenses and other remuneration. With regard to the
  proposal highlighted above, it should be noted that the ZDR-1 (which entered into
  force on 12 April 2013) has newly established that the written statement is an authentic
  document on the basis of which the employee may, in cases where the employer fails
  to pay wages and other remuneration, file an application for enforcement and thus
  seek enforcement before the enforcement court.
