METHODOLOGICAL NOTE
When calculating the growth rates of average gross and net earnings compared to earnings for individual periods of 2024, data on average earnings calculated from the REK-O form are used as the basis for the comparison for all comparison periods in 2024.
With the data on earnings for January 2025 and on, we will no longer publish the table Estimated number of persons employed by budget users, who received the difference to the minimum wage, by activities (NACE Rev. 2), Slovenia, monthly in the SiStat database due to the introduction of a reformed public sector wage system, which stipulates that no person in paid employment may have earnings lower than the minimum wage at any given time.
Data are not seasonally and calendar adjusted.
During the transition period after SKD 2025 (NACE Rev. 2.1) entering into force, statistical data will still be collected and published according to SKD 2008 (NACE Rev. 2). The transition periods will vary depending on the individual surveys.
Additional explanations are available in the methodological explanations.
