Criminal labor law

The offense of undeclared work – or illegal work – covers two types of situations: the concealment of activity and the concealment of salaried employment.

These acts can lead to multiple penalties: imprisonment, fines, URSSAF adjustments, etc.

The offense of illegal labor brokering penalizes the act of being remunerated for lending an employee to another company.

Workplace conduct is carefully scrutinized within companies.

Complaints and criminal prosecutions are increasingly frequent when unsuitable actions or remarks are reported.

The employer has an obligation to guarantee the safety of their employees.

Any workplace accident exposes them to criminal prosecution, coupled with an investigation by the labor inspectorate, with potentially severe consequences.

When the consequences of a workplace accident are most severe, the initiation of a criminal investigation is almost automatic, and the employer’s liability is systematically sought.
