Convenio sobre el seguro de enfermedad (industria), 1927 (núm. 24) - Austria (Ratificación : 1929)

In reply to the Committee’s previous comments, the Government indicates that it has once again contacted the Federal Chamber of Labour, which has emphasized that the problem of non-registration with the social insurance scheme mainly concerns work performed on an hourly basis and cannot therefore be controlled by insurance institutions or the labour inspectorate. Moreover, in most cases, foreign workers are not registered with the social insurance scheme because they do not have a residence or work permit. The Government indicates that it has taken measures against clandestine work within the framework of Act No. 895/1995 with a view to combating abusive practices. Moreover, the Federal Chamber of Labour has not requested that other measures be taken. The Committee notes all this information. It requests that the Government continue providing information in future reports on any new elements in this respect.
