ABSTRACT

In Slovenia, the concept of cross-border posting became relevant after the country joined the European Union’s (EU) in 2004. The number of posted workers in Slovenia has been growing steadily since then and is among the highest in the EU. The changes in business operations brought about by the pandemic depended largely on the type of business and the type of work performed by employees. The number of posted workers from Slovenia in the last decade has been among the highest in the EU. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed our lives. Work patterns have changed – some trends, such as remote working, automation, digitalisation, have been accelerated by the pandemic. A partial answer to the increasing number of postings in international road transport would be the categorisation of drivers as key workers, which is why demand in the transport sector did not decrease with the outbreak of the pandemic.
