Occupational insurance is an important part of the wider pension and social security system in the Republic of Slovenia. It enables workers who work in particularly difficult or hazardous jobs and workers who perform work that can no longer be done successfully after a certain age to leave the labour market earlier and provides them with a source of financial stability in the period until they meet the conditions for regular retirement and after retirement. The system has been in place in Slovenia for several decades, but unfortunately most of the system has never been adapted to the new labour market conditions, or the adaptations foreseen in the law have never been implemented.
Due to increasing obsolescence, unclear legislative regulation, and the failure to implement the proposed solutions, numerous issues have begun to emerge in the occupational insurance system, such as the inadequacy of the list of job positions, non-payment of contributions, and discrepancies between the rights from mandatory and occupational insurance.
