Employee Benefits in the Slovakia, 2022 Update – Key Regulations, Statutory Public and Private Benefits, and Industry Analysis

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Following independence in 1993, the Slovak government reformed taxation, healthcare, pensions, and the social welfare system. These reforms helped the government to consolidate the budget and move toward joining the EU in 2004. The country also introduced several investor-friendly policies – including labor market liberalization and a flat 19% tax regime – which encouraged global investors to participate in the country’s economy until 2008: particularly in the automotive and electronic sectors.

The Slovakia employee benefits report provides insights into the wide range of employee benefits such as retirement benefits, long-term and short-term sickness benefits, and medical benefits as well as other state and private benefits offered by employers in Slovakia.

Key State and Compulsory Benefits in the Slovakia Employee Benefits Market

The key state and compulsory benefits offered by employers in Slovakia are retirement benefits, death in service, long-term disability benefits, short-term sickness benefits, medical benefits, workers’ compensation insurance, maternity and paternity benefits, and other benefits.

Short-Term Sickness Benefits in the Slovakia Employee Benefits Market

In Slovakia, short-term sickness is an earning-related and mandatory insurance scheme and is funded by contributions paid by employers and employees. This covers all employees and self-employed persons. The system also provides special schemes for soldiers, customs officers, and people who are working for the police force.

Medical Benefits in the Slovakia Employee Benefits Market

In Slovakia, medical benefits are provided to all residents. The scheme is compulsory and is financed by contributions collected for mandatory insurance and government subsidies. The benefit provided under this head is given in the form of benefits in kind. Healthcare benefits are also given to people who are insured in the EU, EEA, or Switzerland, and who are employed with diplomatic privilege.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance in the Slovakia Employee Benefits Market

Workmen’s compensation is provided against the risk of injury or death due to work-related activities. In Slovakia, workmen’s compensation (occupational injury insurance) is a mandatory insurance scheme. It is financed by contributions paid by employers on behalf of employees. The cash benefits provided under workmen’s compensation are given following sickness benefits, invalidity benefits, and survivors’ benefits, while benefits in kind are covered by the mandatory health insurance scheme.

Maternity and Paternity Benefits in the Slovakia Employee Benefits Market

Maternity or paternity cash benefits are a compulsory social insurance scheme and are provided to employees and self-employed persons. The system also provides special schemes to soldiers, customs officers, and people working for the police force.

Key Private Benefits in the Slovakia Employee Benefits Market

The key private benefits offered by employers in Slovakia are retirement benefits, death benefits, disability benefits, medical benefits, accidental death and dismemberment benefits, and other benefits.

Retirement Benefits in the Slovakia Employee Benefits Market

Life insurance companies or pension fund management companies (PFMCs) offer solutions under the individual account system in Slovakia. Each PFMC must operate in at least two pension funds, such as a bond guaranteed pension fund or an equity non-guaranteed pension fund. Each PFMC is free to choose between the pension funds. The benefits are paid through the accumulation of contributions in the mandatory individual accounts and returns from investments in pension funds.

Medical Benefits in the Slovakia Employee Benefits Market

In Slovakia, compulsory health insurance plans cover almost the country’s entire population. There are three health insurance companies, one public, and two private, operating in Slovakia’s compulsory health insurance system. These three companies compete to sign up people, mostly based on a shorter waiting period and additional benefits. Compulsory health insurance is more prevalent than voluntary private health insurance plans in the country.

Accidental Death and Dismemberment Benefits in the Slovakia Employee Benefits Market

Employers provide accidental death and dismemberment benefits through group accident insurance plans. Through these plans, employers cover employees for 24 hours. Few large companies with more than 50 employees offer accidental death and dismemberment benefits under the group employee benefit plan.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
