The Inspection and Compliance Unit

The Inspection and Compliance Unit ensures the observance of Labour Legislation including occupational safety and health and other provisions contained in the law.  Inspections, either through routine unexpected visits, requested visits or because of an emergency, constitute the fundamental function of this unit. 

Upon the receipt of a complaint that does not immediately require conciliation, but would appear to benefit from a physical visit to the enterprise to reduce tensions, the Conciliation and Mediation Officers forward the file to the Senior Compliance Officer. (more...)

The Unit refers matters to the Legal Department for advice on the consideration of instituting legal proceedings in respect of any alleged breaches of the Labour Law.  Additionally, inspections are also carried out, on the request of the Immigration Board, where possible breaches of employment contracts may be present.
