Around one in five checks carried out on workers posted to Switzerland revealed violations of local wage and working conditions. Swiss employers also engaged in wage dumping in some cases by hiring foreign workers.
This was announced by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (Seco) on Monday. It published the 2023 reports on the accompanying measures in the area of the free movement of persons and the fight against undeclared work in Bern.
The enforcement bodies inspected the pay and working conditions of 158,848 people in 36,587 companies last year, according to the report. Seven percent of Swiss employers, 26 percent of posted workers and 31 percent of self-employed service providers were inspected.
