What you need to know before filing a report

    Do you want to report an unfair practice but do not know if it threatens the public interest? Or are you unsure whether you are covered by the protection offered by our Office? We have summarised the most important information that will give you the answers to these questions.

    Ikonka

    I found out about the unfair practice in the course of my work

    We can only protect people who report an unfair practice that they become aware of in the course of their work. This is not unverified information that they have heard from other people and does not relate to their employment. It also means that they did not proactively seek out the information in question in order to compromise their employer.

    Ikonka

    I am making the report in good faith

    The whistleblower does not intend to harm anyone; on the contrary, his intention is to protect the public interest. The information provided in the report is therefore not misleading and the whistleblower believes that the matter should be investigated because the law has been broken.

    Ikonka

    The public interest has been compromised

    The public interest means that something is at stake that goes beyond the interests of an individual. If something is in the public interest, it affects more than one employee or our whole society.

    Who to report to

    Interný systém oznamovania

    Any employer in Slovakia with more than 50 employees (more than 5 in the public sector) must by law have an internal whistleblowing system. This means that you have designated channels at work through which you can safely make a report, and a responsible person who will then check it.

    Externé systémy oznamovania

    Ak máte ale dôvodné obavy, že by vaše oznámenie nebolo objektívne preverené, vždy sa môžete obrátiť na nás.
