On 21 March 2019, the social inspection services will carry out a nationwide audit operation in the electro-technical and construction sector.
A flash control is an announced control 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 controls are approaching, we give you some tips.
Violators of social regulations and unreported work are the target of this action.
The controls are part of the ‘action plan against social fraud and social dumping’.
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 construction sector. This list 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 that all documents required for his or her investigation are presented.
Here is a brief (non-exhaustive) overview of the main documents that we recommend you have at hand when an audit is carried out in your company:
In our LegalSmart webshop, 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.
As the legislation is constantly evolving, you can call on our Legal Partners and their Legal Compliance service for advice. In this context, Legal Partners will examine your social documents and ensure compliance with social legislation. At the end of this audit, a report with a risk assessment will be drawn up and recommendations will be provided to you.
Once this audit has been completed, they will inform you regularly of the various legislative changes and their impact on your documents.
With this service, you will no longer fear a visit by a social inspector.
This lightning action should not make us forget that social legislation must be respected all year round. Unexpected controls are there to increase awareness, particularly in the electro and construction sector, which is a key target in the fight against social fraud.
The following flash controls are planned in 2019:
