The final thesis titled Precarious Work and the Labour Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia addresses the issue of precarious work. In the theoretical part, the thesis analyses the definition and characteristics of precarious work, its various forms, and the reasons behind the increase in such types of employment. It also examines the legal framework in Slovenia and the competencies of the Labour Inspectorate of the Republic of Slovenia as the main supervisory institution responsible for enforcing labour legislation. The empirical part is based on a review of the Labour Inspectorate’s annual reports for the period 2016–2024 and on interviews conducted with experts in the field. The findings show that the Labour Inspectorate frequently encounters challenges in overseeing precarious forms of work, as the current legal framework often does not allow for a clear and unambiguous interpretation of key concepts. In recent years, the rise of so-called platform work has also been highlighted, which the Labour Inspectorate identifies as one of the major future challenges, given that this area remains largely undefined in Slovenia. Based on the data examined, it can be concluded that limiting precarious forms of employment in the future will require certain legislative changes or adjustments, further staffing
reinforcement of the Labour Inspectorate, and improved cooperation between supervisory institutions.
