The Inspection report is not mandatory in limitation and impediment ERTEs
The Inspection says it has imposed 1,269 violations until September 15
The 956 labour inspectors plus another hundred sub-inspectors are working weekends and holidays to carry out the 250,000 actions planned this year due to the pandemic.
The aim of the Autonomous Inspection Body - although it was created in 2015, next year will be the first year it has its own budget - is that in 2020 there will be 100,256 inspections related to fraud in ERTEs, specifically in benefits and possible collusion between employers and workers; another 116,189 inspections derived from the authorisation granted to inspectors in June to control and warn companies of the risk of exposure to Covid-19 in the workplace, 30,813 ERTE reports and, finally, 2,876 inspections to investigate labour complaints from workers.
In total, there will be 250,134 actions, which represents an extra effort for the staff of the Labor Inspection, according to Ana Ercoreca, president of the Union of Tax Inspectors, who declared to eE that last week they requested the ministers of Social Security, José Luis Escrivá, and of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, to reinforce the human resources to deal not only with the workload derived from Covid, but also from other labor regulations such as gender pay equality or teleworking, recently approved. The ministers recognized in the meeting the need to increase the staff, but there were no concrete commitments, according to Ercoreca.
