Employees are not always paid correctly. This usually concerns overtime, bonuses or vacation pay. However, those affected also have the chance to defend themselves against this and receive at least part of it, as a recent case from Burgenland shows.  

The figures for wage and social dumping in Burgenland are now higher than they were before the coronavirus pandemic. According to the Chamber of Labor, both Austrian and foreign employees are affected.
