Slovenians earned an average EUR 1,306.68 in take-home pay for March, up 1.2% compared with the net earnings a year ago. Net salaries in the public sector in fact fell by 6.2% as those in the private sector rose by as much on average, shows fresh data from the Statistics Office.
The reason for lower pay in the public sector is that Covid-19 hazard bonuses had been phased out. Compared with the month before, net pay was up 5.3% in nominal terms and up 6.5% in real terms.
