Marzena Łabędź on the proposal to remove provisions regarding labour inspectors for Prawo.pl

The Petitions Committee has proposed removing the regulations that require labour inspectors to present an authorization for inspections, replacing it with just a service ID. Lawmakers argue that this aims to simplify and standardise the inspection procedures for businesses and other employers. They also plan for the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) to be included in the group of authorities exempt from restrictions on conducting inspections.
