The recently adopted ZZSDT, which enters into force on 1 September 2015, sets out new conditions for the employment, self-employment and work of foreigners and indirectly transposes the relevant EU Directive into national legislation. The so-called "one-stop shop" principle, which has so far been established only with regard to highly qualified occupations (EU Blue Card), is now available for all third-country job seekers in Slovenia.

The purpose of the redefined conditions is to protect foreign workers against abuses of the law that have been repeatedly identified in the past. In order to prevent such violations, employers in breach will also be subject to costlier penalties.
