Slovakia is facing a shortage of workers in nearly every sector of the national economy. Companies in Slovakia have long faced a shortage of more than 100,000 employees, and this trend is expected to worsen.
Despite an ongoing shortage of workers, some Slovak companies are carrying out redundancies, often due to consolidation. Confederation of Trade Unions of the Slovak Republic president Monika Uhlerová explains that employers must follow legal procedures and consult unions when conducting mass layoffs, though some try to bypass these rules. She advises employees to seek union support early, carefully review termination agreements, and report suspected violations. The piece also outlines what workers—both Slovak and foreign—should do after losing a job, including registering with the labour office and applying for unemployment benefits.
