Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Employment Agency delegation headed by Agency Director Muamer Bandic visited Slovenia to get a clear insight into workers’ rights. In that sense, Bandic met with Slovenian employers and talked about Bosnian employees rights in Slovenia.

The Employers told Bandic that the minimum hourly wage was increased recently which benefits the Bosnian as well as the Slovenian workforce in Slovenia.

The current hourly wage is between EUR 4 and EUR 6, and the gross wage is between EUR 850 and EUR 2,400. The employers said they are very satisfied with Bosnian workers which can be seen in the year-on-year increase of the number of Bosnia workers employed in Slovenia.  

On the other hand, the workers are also satisfied with the working conditions in Slovenia and the Labour and Employment Agency delegation said they were convinced that the employment contracts and the workers’ rights arising from the Labour Law and the contracts are well respected.

The meeting participants also concluded that Bosnian workers are enjoying all the rights as domestic workers do.  

More than 9,900 Bosnian workers were employed in Slovenia in 2017, and the trend continues in 2018 with more than 4,300 workers who were employed by the end of April 2018.
