Working from Home 2026: Which Roles and What Salaries

2 min read

Quick answer: More and more roles in Slovakia can be done from home, but far from all of them — in 2023, 12.7% of employed people in Slovakia worked from home (Eurostat, Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic). The most opportunities are in IT, administration, marketing and customer support. Below you will find an overview of roles, salaries and where to look for remote work. Gov

How many people in Slovakia work from home?

Roughly one in eight employed people works from home, and most of them only occasionally. Slovakia's 12.7% lags behind its neighbours — in Czechia it is 15.2%, in Austria as much as 27.9%. Gov

The trend of recent years is clear: fully remote work is retreating and hybrid is becoming the new standard — a few days in the office, the rest at home.

Which roles can be done from home?

The easiest roles to do from home are those where a computer and an internet connection are enough. Most such opportunities are in IT and in professional and administrative services, and the fewest in industry (1.6%). FinReport

Typical remote roles:

  • IT — developers, testers, support
  • Accounting and administration
  • Marketing, copywriting, SEO
  • Customer support and telesales
  • Graphic and UX design
  • Translation and online teaching

How much can you earn working from home?

Pay for remote work matches the role itself — remote accounting is paid much like office accounting. The advantage is that the basic salary or its range must now be stated directly in the job ad, so you see the numbers upfront.

You will find specific amounts by role in the average salary 2026 overview. Bear in mind, though, that home office is still more of a perk than a rule — according to a 2024 job-board analysis, roughly 10% of ads offered it. Gov

Where to look for work from home?

On job boards, filter for "work from home" or "home office", but expect fewer listings and stronger competition. The faster route is to say straight away that you want remote work and let the system find what fits.

3 min read

How much can a student earn in a student job in 2026?

The minimum is €5.259 per hour, but many student jobs pay considerably more, especially in IT, logistics or hospitality. Another advantage is that the basic component of the salary or its range must now be stated directly in the job ad, so you see the figure upfront.

How many hours can a student work in a student job?

Under a student work agreement (DBPŠ) the limit is at most 20 hours a week (Section 227 of the Labour Code). There are other agreements with different limits: europa

Agreement Who it is for Hour limit
Student work agreement (DBPŠ) secondary school / university students max 20 h/week
Work activity agreement (DPČ) anyone max 10 h/week Mazars
Work performance agreement (DVP) anyone max 350 h/year Mazars

Do students pay contributions and taxes on a student job?

With earnings up to €200 a month, a student pays no pension insurance contributions — thanks to the €200 deductible item (Social Insurance Agency, 2026). Above that amount, the premium is calculated only from the difference.

You pay health contributions (5%) only if your monthly pay reaches the subsistence minimum of €284.13 (2026). On top of that, the state refunds income tax to most students if they sign the declaration and claim the non-taxable part of the tax base. europa

From what age can a student take a student job?

You can enter into a student work agreement from the age of 15 with student status. Since August 2024, young people may in addition work immediately after classes end in the final year of compulsory school attendance, as a rule from 1 July — no longer only after the formal end of the school year.
