The Labor Inspectorate "goes down" to the field - Increased controls on complaints, 16.7 million lek in administrative measures
In the first quarter of 2025, the State Labor Inspectorate conducted 3064 inspections in entities, of which 89% are planned and thematic inspections, while 11% are unscheduled, which came as a result of complaints, accidents at work or randomly.
Meanwhile, referring to the data, 243 complaint inspections have been carried out in entities, where compared to the previous year, there are 48 more complaints, where it is assumed that this increase directly results from increased awareness.

The figures for accidents at work are at the same levels compared to the parallel period of the previous year, while 75 inspections for accidents at work have been handled, and it is worth noting that 100% of them have resulted in one of the administrative measures.
