Mobing is a phenomenon that can bring an individual into the worst state of despair, as he is systematically subjected to psychological violence, manifested by various forms of appearance. The Slovenian legislation regulates mobbing in various places, each derives from a different branch of law. Since mobbing is defined with all the negative connotations of unwanted behavior at workplace or in relation to work, sanctions and compensation provisions in most cases apply only to persons in a contract based relationship. Thus, the Criminal Code defines mobbing in the chapter on criminal offenses against working relationship and social security, where the criminal offense of mobbing is determined under criminal offenses against an employee. The Labor Relations Act, which also offers legal protection against mobbing, only offers it to employees. In the assignment, I investigated whether our legislation offers legal protection against mobbing to those who do not work on the basis of employment. I focused only on the student work. By analyzing the existing literature, analyzing and interpreting the existing legislation, doing a quantitative and qualitative research, I was looking for solutions to the problem of student unprotectedness against mobbing. With my quantitative research, I confirmed my hypothesis that the majority of students subjected to mobbing, do not report it. I have found that the legislation is insufficiently written and that mobbing over students should ultimately be the responsibility of the Labor Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia. Student work was even more assimilated to regular contract based work by the new regulation, but the lack of rights and (in) protection against mobbing for students, remains the same.
