neplatené

Neplatené is an adjective used in Slovak to describe something that has not been paid, i.e., unpaid. It is formed with the negation prefix ne- added to platene (paid) from the verb platiť, meaning to pay. In Slovak-language texts the form neplatené is standard for referring to payments, compensation, or time off that has not been compensated.

Common contexts where neplatené appears include neplatené voľno, meaning unpaid leave granted by an employer, and neplatené mzdy or nevyplatené mzdy, referring to wages that have not been paid. The term is also used in financial and commercial language to describe neplatené faktúry, i.e., invoices that remain unpaid, or neplatené záväzky, unpaid obligations. The concept contrasts with paid or compensated arrangements, such as platené dovolenky (paid leave) or platené faktúry (paid invoices).

In practice, neplatené payments or benefits raise legal and financial considerations. Employers are generally expected to comply with wage-payment rules set by labor and civil law, while individuals and businesses may pursue remedies through reminders, debt collection, or court actions if payments remain outstanding. The use of neplatené thus signals a status that may require administrative or legal attention to resolve.
