Any member of staff involved in labour inspection activities may refer to the National Labour Inspection Council any action taken by an administrative authority that may directly and personally affect the conditions under which he/she must be able to carry out his/her duties.
The Council decides whether the complaint is admissible. If it is admissible, it will investigate the case, inform the central authority, which will submit its observations if it considers this useful, and issue a reasoned opinion which will be sent to the Minister for Labour and, where applicable, to the minister to whom the employee reports, and notified to the employee.
The opinion is simultaneously sent to the central authority and to the joint administrative commission of the interministerial body to which the employee belongs.
