The hospitality industry is a very significant sector, building Slovenia’s image through a strong connection with tourism. This Master's thesis deals with the different forms of work in the catering industry and compares them with Italy.
A review of the legislation shows that atypical forms of work in both countries are similar but with some deviation. The problem with atypical work is that it can quickly turn into a clandestine employment and thus, violation of the law. The hospitality industry has been greatly affected by the Covid-19 epidemic - it is one of the sectors which has experienced an enormous decline in revenue.
We have analyzed the legislation for containing the epidemic to reveal how workers on standby have been taken care of and how it impacted the employers. The conclusion is that the catering industry is experiencing an increase in atypical forms of work, which entail less social security for workers. In the future, we need greater control to prevent undeclared work.
The survey results helped us understand the problem of recruiting quality workers, the emergence of atypical forms of work in the catering sector, and the extent to which the Covid-19 epidemic will impact catering in the future. The findings can serve workers and employers as guidelines for the correct use of atypical forms of work and their legal basis. They can also function as a recommendation for the further regulation of work in the catering industry, also taking into account the consequences of the epidemic.
