Pay transparency in Slovenia
What the EU Pay Transparency Directive means for employers in Slovenia, based on its national transposition — status, thresholds, the joint-assessment trigger, and where to file.
Slovenia is at pre-draft stage; no national law reference exists as of June 2026 (deadline missed) — despite some third-party trackers listing it as complete. EU baseline applies. That finding is now confirmed from the register rather than from a tracker, and it does not rest on a bare absence: BOTH acts that would have to carry a transposition declare what they transpose and do not declare this one. ZDR-1 art. 1(1) enumerates seventeen directives, the last being (EU) 2019/1158; ZVarD art. 3, headed "prenos pravnih aktov Evropske unije", lists five, the last being 2014/54/ES. Neither names Directive (EU) 2023/970, and the string "2023/970" occurs zero times across ZDR-1, ZVarD and ZEMŽM, against 30 occurrences of "direktiv" in ZDR-1 and 5 in ZVarD as the control that the search finds a directive reference when one is there. The ZDR-1 amendment chain ends in September 2025 with an employment-services act. Do NOT read "EU baseline applies" as "nothing applies": ZDR-1 art. 133 and ZVarD art. 2(1) both bind today — see the regime entries. Whether a transposition bill has been tabled or sent to consultation is NOT established either way: PISRS registers adopted law only, so its silence is evidence about what is in force and says nothing about drafts.
Slovenia has not yet transposed the directive, and the 7 June 2026 deadline has passed. The directive's own thresholds are the best guide until national law is enacted; any pre-existing national pay-reporting regime continues to apply in the meantime.
Reporting duties apply by employer size: 150 or more employees, from 2027 · Every three years (anticipated); 250 or more employees, from 2027 · Annual (anticipated); 100 or more employees, from 2031 · Every three years (anticipated). The directive's 5% trigger for a joint pay assessment applies until national law sets its own.
We have not yet confirmed from the national text whether the pay-gap figures must be published. Either way, the underlying work is the same: establish work of equal value through gender-neutral job evaluation, produce the statutory pay-gap report in the national format, and run a joint assessment where the gap is too wide.
