Staff complaints against British company that manages Palma passport control

The alleged infractions registered with the Labour Inspectorate include working longer hours than stipulated in the contract, not being paid overtime as well as non-payment of the bonus for extra languages and the bonus for team leader, which is held by three people.

In the second document, the worker, who signed a reduction of the working day from 96.9% to 73.40%, accuses the concessionaire that “there are weeks in which the full working day is exceeded, which we understand is illegal and violates article 12.4 of the Statute of Workers”.

The first complaint also highlights the lack of a psychosocial risk study to prevent possible threats to workers’ mental health.
Miguel Pardo, secretary general of the Habitat Federation of the CCOO union, said that “six passport control workers have come to check their pay slips but have not decided to take legal action against the company. The sums involved are so small that the lawyer’s fees are often not worth the money that can be won in court”.

Pardo added “we have considered some kind of industrial action but we have not yet spoken to UGT to coordinate the protest”.
