Traineeships
In Slovenia, the legal framework for traineeships is provided by the Employment Act (Articles 120-124). Traineeship programmes are usually conducted in the form of a traineeship fixed-term employment contract. In certain sectors of the economy (where defined by special regulations or a collective agreement), unpaid (voluntary) traineeships are possible. Volunteer trainees are not employed, but they must conclude a written traineeship contract with the company providing the traineeship, and must fulfill other basic criteria for traineeship, as defined in the Employment Act.
Trainee employees in paid traineeship programmes are entitled to a basic wage amounting to at least 70 % of the basic wage for the position for which the trainee is being trained. Trainee pay may not be lower than the legally set minimum wage. The Employment Act provides that trainees have the same rights as other employees/workers.
