In its latest campaign, the Ministry of Labour detects 426 cases of people without registration or with irregular contracts.
The Regional Operational Commission of the Labour Inspectorate approves the 2024 Work Plan that places special emphasis on the prevention of occupational accidents.
José Ramón Rodríguez, Director General of Labour of the Government of the Canary Islands, analysed today on Radio Sintonía the data that emerges from the latest campaign to reinforce the Labour Inspectorate, which uncovers 426 cases of people without registration or with irregular contracts.
The report highlights that during the three weeks that the campaign has lasted, the reinforcement team has made a total of 940 visits, 361 of them at night and on holidays. These inspections have made it possible to detect fraud in 205 part-time contracts, forcing the employers of the affected workers to extend their working hours and, consequently, to increase their salaries and contributions. In addition, the inspectorate has managed to convert 66 temporary contracts into permanent contracts.
A total of 281 informal jobs have emerged, 96 of them due to lack of registration with Social Security, 58 correspond to women and 38 to men. In addition, 29 non-EU foreigners without work permits have been identified. In addition to these underground jobs, there are the cases of 156 workers with part-time contracts who saw their working hours increased by more than 50%. Sixteen cases were also opened for obstruction. From January to October of this year, the inspection action brought to light 16,3 undeclared jobs in the Canary Islands.
The data has been released within the framework of the Autonomous Operational Commission of the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate of the Canary Islands, which has met to analyse the actions carried out this year and programme the objectives for 2024.
The Plan for next year includes 35,791 service orders divided into five areas: occupational risk prevention, employment and labour relations, social security, irregular economy and work of foreigners and other actions.
