Over 100 Inspectors Uncover Wage, Residence Violations in Hesse Construction Sites
Over 100 black labor inspectors from the Main Customs Office Gießen, led by the German Federal Employment Agency, recently conducted a large-scale inspection of construction sites in North, East, and Central Hesse. The operation, part of a nationwide focus action involving more than XXX usajobs officers, uncovered numerous violations.
The inspectors questioned 268 workers from 59 companies and checked a vast number of documents. They discovered that two workers were not registered for social security, and five were suspected of not receiving the minimum wage, which varies by trade but is at least 12.82 euros gross per hour.
The team also found indications of sham self-employment for 17 Slovakian workers. Additionally, a 53-year-old Ukrainian was arrested for working without a valid residence title, and six men were provisionally arrested for suspected illegal residence, including three with forged Romanian passports.
The inspections led to 13 administrative offense proceedings and 10 criminal proceedings being initiated.
The Main Customs Office Gießen's operation highlights the importance of proper employee registration, fair wage practices, and legal residence for workers. The findings will now be investigated further, and those responsible will face appropriate consequences.
