Assessment of annual leave

13.03.2023

By March 31 at the latest, you are obliged to inform employees in writing about the assessment of annual leave for the current calendar year, as this is stipulated in the "Zakon o delovnih razmerjih" (ZDR-1) in paragraph 2 of Article 160.

The employer can do this in the classic way in writing and by personally delivering the notice to the employee or he can notify them electronically to the employee's email address, if such use is provided and ordered by the employer.

Of course, the cut-off date of March 31 does not apply to cases where the employee is hired after this date. In such a case, we propose the assessment of prorated leave for the current year already in the employment contract itself or with a special written notice, and this as quickly as possible after the start of work.
