Employers in Slovenia can employ third-country nationals only on the basis of a previously obtained single permit. In the process of issuing it, the ZRSZ shall, upon the request of the administrative unit give consent. The ZRSZ give the consent if the conditions from the Article 17 of the Employment Act, self-employment and work of foreigners are fulfilled. One of them is that in the Slovenian register of unemployed persons there is no suitable unemployed person that the employer could recruit.

In the process of issuing the permit for foreigner, the Employment Service of Slovenia, therefore, performs the so-called procedure of labor market control. It checks the fulfillment of the condition that there are no suitable persons or candidates for employment in the Slovenian register.

The procedure for labor market control is necessary for the employment of foreigner

Therefore, the labor market control can be carried out by those who are interested in the employment of foreigner before applying for a single permit. The employer has to submit the PDM-KTD form. For this purpose, you will no longer use the PDM-1 form.

On the basis of the submitted form, within five working days, the ZRSZ will issue a notice indicating whether they are relevant persons in the register.

1. If there are no relevant persons in the register, you will continue the procedure for employment of foreigner (obtaining a work permit or a single residence and work permit). You must submit an application within 30 days of issuing the notification of ZRSZ.
2. If the relevant persons are in the register of the unemployed, you can not employ foreigner. You will be able to search candidates in the Slovenian labor market. In this case, you can post the PDM-1 form.
