On 28/11/25, the Council of Ministers approved the strategic plan of the Social Intelligence and Investigation Service (SIOD/SIIS) to combat social fraud, illegal employment, and social dumping for the period 2026-2029.
This plan fully commits to a smart, risk-oriented, and evidence-based approach with the following key points:
Focus on the most significant fraud risks (such as social dumping, undeclared work, etc.)
- Increased control & enforcement, but also prevention
- Investment in technology, such as data mining and data exchange
- Intensive cooperation with domestic and foreign inspection services
- Safe, healthy, and inclusive workplaces for everyone
The strategic objectives are translated into action plans covering two-year periods. The draft action plan for 2026–2027 received an opinion from the National Labour Council (NAR/NLC) yesterday, focusing, among other things, on the following issues:
Stricter compliance with correct pay and working conditions in the context of posting
- Need for a more robust fight against social dumping
- Actions against abuse of the au pair status
- Tackling bogus internships (internships used as a cover for real work without pay)
- Update of the legal framework for kid influencers
- Priority for enforcing rules on consecutive (day) contracts (for temporary agency workers)
This action plan aims for more and more targeted controls. This means special attention remains necessary when working with or employing foreign workers, but interns and day contracts—particularly for temporary agency workers—may also come under increased scrutiny during future inspections.
