New campaign against temporary and discontinuous permanent hiring in fraud. The Labor Inspection has sent almost 40,000 letters to companies to regularize and make permanent “86,903 workers” with discontinuous temporary and permanent contracts in which the agency has detected alleged irregularities, as reported this Thursday by the agency.
This is the implementation of the second “Shock Plan against fraud in temporary hiring” in 2024. So far this year, “95,000” contracts have already been converted to permanent contracts following the action of the Labor Inspection. Of them, more than 43,000 were temporary contracts and almost 52,000 were fraudulent discontinuous permanent contracts, the organization explains.
Specifically, the labor authority has sent “39,116” communications to companies in this second phase of the Shock Plan, in which it has detected alleged irregularities thanks to the massive crossing of data.
Temporary and discontinuous permanent hiring is associated with specifically temporary or permanent but intermittent needs, respectively, “and not to cover structural and ordinary jobs,” they recall in Work, “which can lead to unjustified hiring and fraud of law”.
Letters that uncover labor fraud
The Labor Inspection’s shock plans against irregular temporary hiring are a strategy that the Ministry began in 2018 and that has intensified in recent years, with impressive results already from the first phase, which consists of the massive sending of letters ” informative.”
The agency first sends these communications to the companies, warning of the detection of alleged fraud, and gives the companies a deadline for “voluntary” regularization. If the company does not act or justify the legality of the temporary or permanent discontinuous contracts, the second phase is deployed, in which the Inspection workers act to formally investigate the companies.
The first plan launched this year resulted in “around 50,000” conversions from discontinuous temporary and permanent contracts to indefinite ones, reports the Labor Inspection. The rest – up to the 95,000 announced – are the result of other actions by the public body.
