Last year, the Labor Inspectorate carried out a total of 17,091 inspection actions on companies and self-employed people in the Tarragona Regions, 16 percent less than in 2023. Actions that resulted in the imposition of 9.47 million euros in sanctions, 3.3 percent more than in 2023.
Therefore, although inspections decreased, the same did not happen with the amount of fines, which even increased. A fact that invites reflection.

In this link we provide you with a list of the basic duties and obligations that every entrepreneur must take into account. Without a doubt, fulfilling them will save you a lot of scares:
Now, how should you act in the face of a labor inspection?
A labor inspection is a process by which an inspector ensures that your company complies with current rules and regulations. It can begin without prior notice, so you need to be very clear about both your rights and obligations.
The investigation may occur following a complaint or due to an action organized by the Labor Inspectorate. During this, the inspectors may request various documents and information to verify that your company is complying with the legislation.
When faced with this labor supervision, you must be prepared and have all the necessary information and documentation at hand. The best strategy is to collaborate and be transparent.
Therefore, first of all, you must remain calm and have a collaborative attitude, never deny entry to an inspector as they have public authority. Notify the person in charge of the workplace and contact a specialist in labor matters and do not prevent your workers from speaking with the inspectors or sub-inspectors during the procedure, nor carry out any conduct that obstructs the inspection.
If you comply with all labor regulations and standards, you should not worry about the inspection. However, if the inspector detects any type of problem, it is advisable to work quickly to correct it and thus avoid a possible penalty.
