THE GUIDE TO FAIR SEASONAL WORK HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BY THE EUROPEAN LABOR AUTHORITY
A short survey, which is part of the "Guide to Fair Seasonal Work", helps jobseekers, as well as those already working abroad, to assess whether there is a risk of falling into a fraudulent scheme. The guide, which has already been published on the website of the GIT Executive Agency, was developed by the European Labor Authority (ELA) as part of the "Rights in All Seasons" campaign. This was announced by the press center of the Executive Agency "General Labor Inspectorate".
The rights described in the leaflet apply to EU citizens or non-EU nationals legally residing in Community countries. The information in the brochure draws attention to the equal treatment of workers, social security, working and living conditions, etc. In case of questions and complaints from employees, a link is provided where they can check which institution to contact.
On the Unified Information Website of Bulgaria on the posting of workers, the Labor Inspectorate has also developed a short questionnaire for self-assessment of the reality of the posting. The questionnaire can be completed here.
The Labor Inspectorate is a partner of the Employment Agency in conducting for Bulgaria the pan-European campaign of the European Labor Authority, aimed at raising awareness among cross-border seasonal workers with a focus on those employed in agriculture. The slogan of the campaign is Rights in all seasons, and posts on social networks can be found using the hashtag #Rightsforseasons.
In the period 20 - 24 September 2021, as part of the campaign, the Week of Action was declared European Union Week for seasonal workers. Within it, experts of the Labor Inspectorate participate in a series of information meetings organized by the Employment Agency. Labor inspectors also carry out increased control in agriculture.
On the website of the Labor Inspectorate, in the section "Activity", the section "Information campaigns", the sub-section "European campaign Rights in all seasons" are published other useful materials about the work of mobile workers in other EU member states.
Information on working conditions in the Member States is also published on the website of the Network for Cooperation between the European Employment Services, under the heading "Living and working conditions".
Information about the campaign is also published in a specially created section of the European Labor Authority https://www.ela.europa.eu/campaigns/rights-for-all-seasons
