Slovakia: job-ad wage disclosure and reporting deadlines clarified
Our Slovakia review corrects the tracker’s treatment of job-ad salary disclosure and clarifies reporting, joint pay assessment and equal-pay remedies under existing law.
What changed
Published job offers must state the basic wage where Employment Services Act5/2004 applies. This is separate from Act76/2026's broader starting-pay/range disclosure before interview or contract. Employers below50 are exempt from progression-criteria disclosure. Ordinary reports are due15April, while special first reports remain due7June2027 for150+ and7June2031 for100–149. JPA must be completed within two months after the six-month uncorrected-gap trigger. Compensation claims have a three-year knowledge-based limitation; burden shifting has statutory conditions.
What it means for employers
Review job ads and recruitment communication together. Preserve1August–31December2026 payroll for covered150+ employers, distinguish special first deadlines from subsequent15April deadlines, and plan the six-month plus two-month JPA process. Use the official job-evaluation methodology as an optional aid. Detailed filing and calculation arrangements remain under verification.
