In the case of Austria -wide controls of food houses at 67 companies and 75 deliverers, the financial police have found more than 50 alleged violations of provisions for labor market legislation.
- In 50 of the cases that were tested on Thursday, the information is suspected of having incorrectly estimated an incorrectly registered employee status.
- In three cases, meal needs were not registered with social security and received an unemployment benefit.
- Seven meals were neither registered, nor did they have a labor market permit.
- A meal deliverer also did not have a good residence permit.
According to the Ministry of Finance, the background to the last raids was that real employment relationships have become more and more free in recent months.
“No tolerance”
“You try to get benefits on the back of other market participants and especially the employees,” said Finance Minister Markus Marterbauer. “There should be no tolerance here. Even if service companies are under hard competition, fair competition must be guaranteed.”
Minister of Social Affairs Korinna Schumann (Spö) described the “systematic circumventing the security regulations” as “unacceptable”. Schumann had announced a focus on platform work and fake self-employed with a view to the delivery of the delivery area and switch to independent delivery people.
Companies reserved
In addition to Liererando, the large meals in Austria also include Foodora and Wolt. On Friday, Foodora emphasized that the company “correctly registered all suppliers with social security before the start of the work”. Your documents would “be thoroughly checked and verified during the application process”. De Wolt said the report was being investigated. Liererando did not want to comment on the “current surveys at the moment”.
