Raid in Lüdenscheid: Hairdressing salons in the sights of the investigators!

In the Märkisches Kreis, extensive controls of hairdressing salons and barbershops, which were initiated by police and customs, were recently held. This review aims to uncover undeclared work and illegal employment in the industry. The North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of Labor and Economic Affairs and the General Coll Directorate took part in the so-called “campaign days”. A total of 52 salons were checked in a nationwide campaign, while the emergency services surveyed 115 employees and searched the documents in 32 cases.

The action days to combat undeclared work were launched in 2018 and are to take place annually in changing sectors. So far, the focus was on various industries, including the construction industry, security and security services as well as the meat industry. This year the focus was now on the hairdressing trade. Andrea Münch, the press spokeswoman for the main customs office in Dortmund, reported that a team of 41 customs officials, six municipal employees, 21 police officers and three representatives of the German pension insurance were in use.

Information on the investigation results

The results of the controls were revealing. In a total of 17 cases, there were indications of violations of the minimum wage law and as many indications of premium priority, which means that some of the employees were not properly registered with social security or their contributions were not paid. "We want to set a clear sign against the shadow economy and promote fair working conditions," explained Constanze Voß, the president of "Financial Control undeclared Blackwork".

In addition, the customs collected extensive evidence when a company is searched in Lüdenscheid, which is also suspected, to be involved in undeclared work. The nationwide controls are an important part of the strategy to combat illegal working conditions and are also intended to have a preventive effect. According to Voß, these campaign days have the goal of supporting honest companies and ensuring a certain level of fairness in the industry.

These thorough checks are part of a comprehensive strategy of the federal government and the state authorities to act against unregulated employment in various sectors. Such measures are essential, especially in the service industry, where it is often difficult to control compliance with labor rights. The knowledge from the controls could also have far -reaching consequences for the affected companies and their employees, who may have to expect legal consequences, the suspected moments should be confirmed.

The importance of these controls extends beyond the immediate results of the investigation. They are part of a broader effort to regulate the labor market and enforce standards that are advantageous for everyone involved. A heavily regulated labor market not only contributes to economy, but can also strengthen the trust of consumers in the industry.
