Controls
The audits concerned undeclared work, time limits, accrued wages, etc., for 10,359 workers, of which 1,729 were affected. Of these, 103 were identified as undeclared, 1,338 for violating work time limits and 288 for other violations. 750 fines were imposed, amounting to 3,487,560 euros.
In total, during the two months of July – August, Labor Relations inspectors carried out 6,560 checks and fines of 6,611,783 euros were imposed.
