In September 2020, the final flash inspection of 2020 will take place for the time being. This takes place in the car wash sector (JC 112).
We remind you that, unlike in previous years, the flash inspections no longer take place on a specific date, but may occur during the entire month.
A flash inspection is an announced inspection that is mainly informative and preventive in nature. This does not mean, however, that the inspection services will not make a report when a serious offence has been committed.
As the announced inspections are approaching, we give you some tips.
Violators of social regulations and unreported work are the target of this action.
The inspections are part of the 'action plan 2020 of the fight against social fraud' and focus on social dumping and combating unreported employment in fraud-sensitive sectors.
In a question to an expert, we explain the employer's rights and obligations in the event of a social inspection.
The Belgian Service d'information et de recherche sociale/Sociale Inlichtingen- en Opsporingsdienst [Information and Social Research Department] has put together a specific check list for the car wash sector. It contains the documents that are likely to be requested by the social inspector as well as the questions for which you can prepare. However, this check list is only indicative in nature and does not prevent a social inspector from requesting all documents required for the investigation.
The social inspector can, without prior notice, enter freely at any time of the day or night, in all workplaces or places where he reasonably suspects that persons are working.
Here is a brief (non-exhaustive) overview of the main documents that we recommend you have at hand in the event of a company audit:
The social inspector can also ask questions directly to your employees or request certain documents during a workplace inspection:
In our LegalSmart web shop, you will find several of these standard documents. Legal all-in customers can contact their Legal Officer to obtain certain standard documents.
Partena Professional's sector information allows you to familiarise yourself with the sector provisions specific to your joint committee.
Our Legal Partners are following up on the constantly evolving legislation. In the context of our 'Legal Privileged Partners (LPP)' service, our team can examine your social documents and ensure compliance with social legislation.
As part of the exercise, if desired, a report with a risk analysis can be made and we can give you the required recommendations. With this service, you will no longer fear a visit by a social inspector.
On the website of the SIRS/SIOD you can also consult the results of these flash inspections. Currently, only the information from the flash inspection in the cleaning sector is available.
This flash action should not make us forget that social legislation must be observed all year round. Unexpected inspections are there to increase awareness, particularly in the car wash sector which is a key target in the fight against social fraud.
For 2020, this was the last flash inspection announced for the time being. Should this meanwhile change, we will not fail to inform you of this
