SAY NO TO THE INFORMAL WORK

Project – “SAY NO TO THE INFORMAL WORK“

It is being implemented

The Project “Support to the Labour Inspectorate in Suppression of “Informal Work“ through Capacity Building and Public Awareness” was launched on 8 September 2017 when a Contract SRB-17-0013 was signed between the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs and the Embassy of the Kingdom of Norway in the Republic of Serbia. The Project funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Norway in total amount of EUR 400.800, is aimed primarily at the media campaign emphasizing the adverse consequences of the undeclared work. The media campaign started in January 2018 and it consists of the web site, created on the address www.recineradunacrno.rs, where information can be found on the project, applicable labour legislation in the Republic of Serbia and the forms to be used to report on an employer who hires non-registered people. Publication on the internet is additionally strengthened by continuously updated pages on social networks Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube. Apart from Internet, the campaign is conducted on TVs with national frequencies, by broadcasting video clips, distributing flyers and brochures. This informative aspect of the Project proved to be very successful. This can be confirmed by the enormous number of reports on the “informal work” submitted from the beginning of the campaign, whereof majority of the reports are grounded. Besides this aspect of educating the citizens on their rights, the Project is focussed on the Labour Inspectorate capacity building. Training events will be held for additional education of labour inspectors in all the 27 administrative districts in the Republic of Serbia. Procurement of tablets necessary for the execution of field inspections is foreseen.
