Augsburg Inspection Nets 7 Cases of Illegal Work in Hospitality Industry
Last Tuesday, the Main Customs Office Augsburg conducted a local inspection day in the hospitality and accommodation industry, focusing on illegal work and employment practices. Over 50 officers inspected 25 businesses, questioning 60 people about their employment relationships.
The inspection revealed seven cases that require further investigation. Three cases suspect illegal employment of foreigners, while four involve potential withholding of social security contributions. In the Ingolstadt area, employees attempted to flee during the checks, implying possible illicit activities.
The FKS, responsible for such inspections, employs a risk-oriented approach to combat illegal work nationwide and regionally. They focus on ensuring employee registration for social security contributions, preventing social benefits fraud, and enforcing minimum wage payments. The respective regional labor inspection offices or authorities under the Bavarian state government typically handle investigations, often coordinated by the state police or customs investigation offices specialized in illegal employment enforcement.
The inspection day in Augsburg resulted in seven cases that require further investigation. The FKS continues to work diligently to reduce illegal work and detect offenses in the hospitality and accommodation industry, ensuring fair employment practices and protecting workers' rights.
