What is a labour and social security inspection?
The labour and social security inspection is the procedure set up by the government to check companies’ compliance with the standards of labour and social security legislation.
Anyone who is aware of facts which might constitute an infringement in matters for which the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate is responsible (work, occupational health and safety, social security, employment, etc.) can request the assistance of the Inspectorate by filing a complaint, and the Labour Inspectorate may also act under its own initiative.
How to lodge a complaint
There are three ways of filing a complaint:
- In person: By going in person to a provincial Labour and Social Security Inspectorate (ITSS) office , a registry of the other bodies of the central government, autonomous communities, and the local authorities, when there is an appropriate agreement for the registration of complaints.
- Online: File your complaint via the electronic office , provided that you have an electronic national identity document (DNIe), or an advanced electronic signature based on an electronic certificate recognised by the @firma platform.
- By post: Post your complaint to a relevant office of the provincial ITSS .
N.B: If you file your complaint by post or at a registry without attending in person, you will be required to enclose a certified copy of your national identity document and, where applicable, your express permission for the Inspectorate to check your identity particulars on the appropriate register.
