Slovenia Legal Snapshot: Sick Leave / Bolniški List

Note on employer policies: Bolniški list and bolniška odsotnost processes, and the point at which ZZZS becomes involved, can vary by employer and by the length of absence, and related thresholds are reviewed periodically. Confirm current requirements with ZZZS or your employer's HR policy at the time you need them, as these details can change.

Exact requirements can generally vary by employer and by how long an absence lasts, and ZZZS involvement typically increases for longer periods of bolniška odsotnost. A certificate reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Slovenia, issued after a genuine online assessment, is generally treated the same as one obtained in person, and it can support your employer's own bolniški list process rather than replacing it outright.

Bolniška odsotnost can cover a wide range of conditions, and a doctor assessing your case online will ask about your specific situation rather than defaulting to a single standard answer. Where a longer absence is involved, ZZZS's role in confirming and processing the bolniški list generally increases, which is one reason exact timelines can vary from one case to another and are best confirmed directly with ZZZS or your employer for anything beyond a short absence.

Outside of work-related bolniška odsotnost, general medical certificates are also commonly requested in Slovenia for insurance paperwork, university mitigating-circumstances claims, and visa applications where a doctor's written statement is asked for as supporting evidence. In each of these cases, the underlying principle is the same: a doctor needs to genuinely review your situation before a document confirming it can be issued, whether that review happens in a clinic or through a structured online assessment.

This overview is general information rather than legal advice for a specific case, and it does not cover every employer policy or edge case you might encounter. Last reviewed July 2026. Always confirm current rules before relying on them for a specific case.

Typical private consultation costs are a general range reported for private clinics in Slovenia and vary by location and provider.

The difference between our pricing and a typical private consultation generally reflects the lower overhead of an online assessment compared to an in-person clinic visit; you are paying for the doctor's review and the certificate itself, not a waiting room, receptionist time, or travel to and from a clinic. Pricing is higher for sports fitness and fit-to-fly certificates because those assessments generally involve more detailed questions about activity type or travel circumstances before a doctor can reach a decision. None of our certificate types requires an upfront payment before a doctor has reviewed your case, so you are never charged for a request that does not result in a certificate.

Our sick leave certificate costs €34.99 against the €35-60 typically charged for many private consultations in Slovenia, and the same online-versus-in-person comparison applies across our other five certificate types, with pricing set higher where the underlying assessment takes more time. The main practical differences tend to be convenience and turnaround rather than the underlying medical standard.

A certificate reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Slovenia, issued after a genuine online assessment, is generally treated the same as one obtained from an in-person visit, while removing the need to travel to and wait in a clinic. Whichever route you choose, a certificate should always reflect a genuine clinical assessment rather than being issued automatically simply because a request was submitted.

Pricing differences within our own certificate types generally reflect how much clinical detail a case tends to need rather than an arbitrary mark-up. A sick leave or general medical certificate usually involves a more contained set of questions, while a sports fitness or fit-to-fly assessment typically needs more detail on activity type, timing, or travel circumstances before a doctor can reach a decision.

Every Slovenia certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Slovenia. A clinician will only issue a certificate after genuinely reviewing the health information you provide and, where needed, asking follow-up questions through the same online portal.

If a certificate is not clinically appropriate for your situation, for example if it needs an in-person examination or further investigation, the doctor will decline to issue one and you receive a full, automatic refund. We do not operate on a pay-first, certificate-guaranteed basis, and any concern about a specific assessment can be raised with us directly, in addition to any right you may have to raise it with the relevant medical authority.

You can always ask to see the credentials behind a specific certificate, and nothing in our process is designed to make that harder than dealing with a doctor face to face. The same clinical standard applies whichever certificate type you request, whether that is sick leave, sport, travel, or a general medical need; the review itself does not change based on the label on the document.
