The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
In Slovenia, foreign nationals can be employed, and we distinguish between foreign nationals coming from EU countries and foreign nationals coming from third countries. The majority of foreign nationals employed in our country come from third countries, with most of them coming from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The procedure for employing a foreign national is prescribed by law. The solution to this situation, which prevails primarily in the construction sector and has been proven through the research conducted, lies in the fact that inspection services should perform their work better and penalise violators appropriately and immediately. In this way, foreign nationals would also be better protected and would consequently have guaranteed social security.
Problem
In Slovenia, foreign nationals can be employed, and we distinguish between foreign nationals coming from EU countries and foreign nationals coming from third countries. The majority of foreign nationals employed in our country come from third countries, with most of them coming from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The largest number of foreign nationals is employed in the construction sector, which is a specific activity that peaks during the summer months, as the work depends on weather conditions.
Furthermore, carrying out this activity does not require a large amount of initial capital, yet it employs a large number of people. The largest number of foreign nationals in Slovenia are employed precisely in the construction sector. Like all other activities, the construction sector has also been affected by the crisis.
Recently, we have witnessed the collapse of large construction companies. The reason for the collapse of companies lies in the fact that management did not recognise the symptoms of the crisis in time and did not find appropriate solutions. The global economic crisis has also contributed significantly to this.
Solution and Method
The procedure for employing a foreign national is prescribed by law. Foreign nationals receive a work permit to perform work in Slovenia; there are several types of these and they relate to the nature of the foreign national's work. In addition to the work permit, a foreign national must also conclude an employment contract.
This is where a problem often arises, as company owners tend to employ foreign nationals illegally. This means that they are defrauding the state and, of course, the foreign nationals as well, since in this case they are not protected and have no rights arising from employment relationships.
Results
The solution to this situation, which prevails primarily in the construction sector and has been proven through the research conducted, lies in the fact that inspection services should perform their work better and penalise violators appropriately and immediately. In this way, foreign nationals would also be better protected and would consequently have guaranteed social security.
