Articles 3 and 4 of the Convention. Minimum wage fixing machinery. The Committee notes the adoption of the new Minimum Wage Act (Official Gazette No. 13/2010), which provides for the annual readjustment of the minimum wage to reflect at least the rise in consumer prices based on official data published by the Statistical Office. The Government explains, in this connection, that the minimum wage is no longer revised on the basis of the expected inflation rate because inappropriately low inflation estimates in the past led to inadequate minimum wage increases. The Committee also notes that the new Act identifies for the first time the indicators to be used in determining the amount of the minimum wage, i.e. the rise in consumer prices, wage trends, economic conditions or economic growth, and employment trends. The Committee further notes that the minimum wage is determined by the Labour Minister after consultation with the social partners.
While noting the Government’s statement that these consultations are held within the framework of the Economic and Social Council (ESC), the Committee requests the Government to specify the legal provisions which define the exact role of the ESC in the minimum wage fixing process and transmit a copy of any relevant text(s). The Committee would also appreciate receiving the Government’s views in response to earlier comments made by the Association of Employers of Slovenia (ZDS), according to which in recent years there have been no genuine consultations but rather the social partners are merely notified of the Government’s decisions.
Article 5 and Part V of the report form. Enforcement measures. Application in practice. The Committee notes that the minimum wage, as of January 2012, is set at €763, which represents around 50 per cent of the average wage. It also notes that, according to the information provided by the Government, the number of employees remunerated at the minimum wage rate represented 6.4 per cent of the total workforce in 2010. The Committee further notes the statistical data concerning inspection results with respect to the minimum wage legislation for the period 2007–11. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide all available information on the application of the Convention in practice, including for instance, the approximate number of workers covered by the Convention, statistics on the evolution of the minimum wages in recent years as compared to the evolution of economic indicators, such as the inflation rate, in the same period, inspection results showing the number of visits carried out, violations of the minimum wage legislation observed and sanctions imposed, and copies of official reports, such as activity reports of the ESC, or studies addressing issues of minimum wage policy.
