Health insurance and sick leave
How to make sure that your employer pays for your
insurance?
Over your mobile phone it is possible to check whether your health insurance
is paid for and if, consequently, your employer has made the work relationship
official. This can be done by a text message: enter ZZ and the nine-digit number
of your health insurance card (for example ZZ039081320) in the body of the message
and then send it to 031 771 009. You should receive your reply in a couple of
minutes. Make sure to check whether your employer pays your social contributions
on a regular basis – you can do this at Tax Administration of the Republic
of Slovenia.
An employer cannot de-register workers with work permits from health
insurance register without submitting a proof of work relationship cessation,
which basically means that he needs your signature!
If you were prematurely and unjustly de-registered from health insurance scheme,
your rights have been violated and your employer should be reported to the Labour
Inspectorate. Alternatively, you may ask the Employment Service of Slovenia to report
the employer on your behalf.
A violation report can be collective, i.e. performed by a group of workers,
and anonymous upon request.
