Cracking Down on Unlawful Construction Labor - Main Customs Office in Schweinfurt
In a significant move to combat undeclared work and illegal employment, the Main Customs Office Schweinfurt, in collaboration with the German Pension Insurance and immigration authorities, recently conducted a targeted inspection in the regions of Schweinfurt, Würzburg, and Bamberg, as well as large parts of Upper Franconia.
The operation, focused on the construction industry, involved 85 officials from the Main Customs Office Schweinfurt. The inspection aimed to ensure compliance with various regulations, including the verification of foreign employees' work permits and valid residence titles required for employment, the proper registration of employees for social security, and the payment of minimum wages according to legal and contractual requirements.
During the inspection, a total of 165 employees were questioned on numerous construction sites throughout the mentioned regions. While the exact number of violations recorded by customs authorities last week is not publicly available, it is known that numerous violations were detected during the inspection by the customs forces.
The Customs' Financial Control of Under-the-Table Work (FKS) used a risk-oriented inspection approach for this nationwide operation. This strategy is employed for both nationwide and regional targeted inspections. The document related to this operation is available as "20250618_pm_spp_bau.pdfPDF - 17 kB".
