STATE INSPECTORATE TO SUBMIT TO GOVT. REPORT ON WORK ON SUNDAYS

ZAGREB, May 29 (Hina) - The State Inspectorate will on Monday submit to the government a report on compliance with legal regulations on overtime and work on Sundays and holidays in all companies and branches of economy in Croatia, Chief State Inspector Branko Jordanic said on Thursday. #L# "The situation in that area is far much better than could be concluded based on public attacks," Jordanic told Hina. Most companies which operate on Sundays are doing business in line with law and contracts between workers and their employers are respected, Jordanic said, adding that black labour was a far more serious problem. Prime Minister Ivica Racan on Tuesday requested the State Inspectorate to step up control in companies operating on Sundays, but Jordanic claims that inspectors had been conducting controls since January, long before the start of a recent campaign by trade unions and the Catholic Church to ban work on Sundays. Inspectors very often encounter illegal cases of overtime in almost all branches of activity, including commerce, although this problem is the most frequent in the construction industry, said Jordanic.
