Shadow employment and labor migration: State Labor Office issues were discussed in Uzhgorod

Undeclared hired labor is one of the biggest issues.
Preventing such cases and increasing the number of officially registered employees are priority tasks of the State Labor Office. Shadow schemes limit the ability to pursue effective public social policies and create unfair competition for those businesses that comply with all their tax, labor and social security obligations.
During January-November of this year, labor inspectors made 2015 inspection visits, during which they checked employment contracts for compliance with the legal requirements. 58 employers were found to violate the procedure for registration of labor relations. In particular, employers used the labor of 21 workers without notifying the SFS, and another 150 workers were working without employment contracts. Source.
