Customs Administration Concludes Nationwide Hotel Sector Wage Checks
The Customs Administration's Financial Control of Unreported Employment (FKS) has concluded a nationwide operation in Germany's hotel and hospitality sector. The inspections, which targeted over 2,600 establishments, focused on ensuring compliance with the legal minimum wage, working conditions, and social security contributions. Results will be announced in a separate press release next week.
The operation, conducted by FKS, aimed to secure social systems and state revenues, as well as ensure fair competition. Inspectors checked for adherence to the new general minimum wage of 12.82 euros per hour, proper working time records, social security payments, and the illegal employment of foreigners. They also verified that employers were not improperly receiving social benefits and that employees had valid ID documents.
The hotel and catering industry was a primary focus due to its significant size and employment intensity in Germany.
The results of the inspections will be made public at the beginning of next week. These operations are crucial for maintaining fair working conditions, protecting state revenues, and ensuring a level playing field for businesses in the sector.
