The right to work in an adapted workplace is specified by law for persons with disability in Slovenia. Its citizen can exercise this right within occupational rehabilitation (as specified by the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities Act), vocational rehabilitation (as specified by the Pension and Disability Insurance Act) and within the process of returning to work after serious illness or injury (as specified by the Health and Safety at Work Act). The system in Slovenia regulates procedures and providers of occupational and vocational rehabilitation. Return to work is poorly regulated, even though this group of people is the largest among the three in terms of those who are still employed. The procedures do not differ much according to the type of rehabilitation. Workplace adjustments are essential in the process of employment and return to work. The providers should have a solid knowledge of ergonomics and be familiar with the equipment and technical aids for workplace adaptation. The workplace adaptation procedures take place in work premises, so co-operation between the therapists, employers and employees is of key importance.
