Plan of measures for tourism, Labor Inspectorate field inspections - Focus on reporting on wages, overtime and employment of minors
The State Labor Inspectorate has drafted a plan of measures for the control of entities that exercise their activities during the tourist season throughout the country.
According to the announcement from the Labor Inspectorate, it is announced that controls have been increased with the aim of guaranteeing fair and safe working conditions in the protection of employees' rights. As part of this plan, the Inspectorate will focus attention on the payment of health and social insurance, conducting rigorous controls on the registration and payment of contributions.
On the other hand, the rights of workers under the age of 18 will be carefully monitored, to ensure compliance with the law on the employment of minors and the prohibition of hazardous or night work. Likewise, verifying the regularity of documentation for foreign workers and respecting their legal rights is also a priority of this plan.
The checks will include the assessment of overtime pay, so that the calculation and payment are made in accordance with the Labor Code. In the meantime, it will be guaranteed that every employee benefits from the weekly rest days they are entitled to.
The Labor Inspectorate calls on all employees to report any violation of their rights, emphasizing the importance of cooperation in creating a fair and safe labor market.
In parallel with the Inspectorate, the General Directorate of Taxes has also decided to act to curb informality in this sector. One of the main measures is the establishment of floor salaries for the most widespread professions in tourism. According to the new table, guards should be paid a minimum of 55 thousand lek, sanitation workers 60 thousand, receptionists 63 thousand, waiters 70 thousand, while salaries for chefs and managers range from 90 to 140 thousand lek.
Tax authorities will compare these minimum wages with those declared by entities, to identify cases of income concealment and failure to accurately declare employees.
