Tough times ahead for Slovak employers?
In recent weeks, the Slovak Parliament has approved two laws that could substantially increase labour costs for employers in Slovakia. One amendment to the Minimum Wage Act raises the automatic determination rate of the minimum wage, while another introduces a new contribution to cover sports activities for employees' children.
Neither amendment has yet been signed by the president. However, given the current political situation in Slovakia, it is unlikely that he will veto these amendments.
