An employee who has not received payment may file a complaint with the State Labor Inspectorate. The complaint should be submitted to the relevant regional labor inspectorate or its branch, according to the employer’s registered office. The State Labor Inspectorate does not consider anonymous complaints, but complainant’s data is protected and will not be disclosed without their written consent.

After receiving the complaint, the inspector may conduct an inspection and summon the employer to provide explanations. If wage payment irregularities are confirmed, the inspector may:

• order the payment of the owed wages,
• initiate proceedings for an offense against employee rights.

After the inspection is completed, the employee receives a written notification of how the complaint was handled—either in paper form or electronically. A complaint template for the labor inspectorate can be found HERE.
