The worker's social contributions are also not covered. NGOs who fight for migrant rights pose the question: "How is it possible that companies in Slovenia who have problems with liquidity or have frozen accounts are still able to hire?"

Slovenia's law states that every employer who sends a worker abroad must provide the person with a steady job back home. However in Slovenia employers mostly start a business one day and find cheap labour forces to exploit the next.

Workers seem to be better protected abroad. In Germany for example if a worker doesn't get paid, the main contractor is held accountable for the situation. In Slovenia it seems laws protect employers and not contract workers. Many official complaints submitted by the criminal inspectorate are rejected by the prosecution because employers always say they have not calculated expenses well enough and have overestimated their financial capabilities.

Exploitation of workers will be one of the topics the new government will have to tackle in the future.
