Intensive controls in tourist destinations for the implementation of labor legislation by SEPE will be implemented by the Ministry of Labor in the near future.
The beginning of the tourist season puts on alert the services of the Labor Inspection Body (SEPE), in order to start intensive inspections in areas of high tourist intensity. At the same time, the Public Employment Service (formerly OAED) started the camp program and electronically accepts, until Sunday, May 8, applications of beneficiaries and providers for their participation in the “Children Accommodation Program in Children’s Camps”.
The inspections in tourist areas will be carried out by the Service of Special Labor Inspectors by utilizing the quantitative and qualitative data of PS ERGANI.
The areas
They will focus on companies operating in the following areas:
Coastal tourist areas of the Attica Region. South Aegean islands, especially Cyclades and Dodecanese (Milos, Sifnos, Serifos, Ios, Santorini, Paros, Naxos, Syros, Tinos, Mykonos, Rhodes, Kos, Patmos, Leros). Crete (Regional Units of Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, Lassithi). Ionian Islands (Kefalonia, Zakynthos, Corfu). Coastal tourist areas of Peloponnese, Epirus, Thessaly, Central Macedonia (Halkidiki, Pieria) and Eastern Macedonia, and Thrace.
The purpose of the controls is to ensure compliance with labor law, in particular as regards undeclared and declared work, compliance with working time limits, issues of pay, leave and other work benefits as well as issues of health and safety at work.
