Sending workers to Latvia? Its requirements are built in.

Latvia binds whole sectors to their general agreements and tracks time electronically on larger construction sites. Obtempera's Latvian template is set up for both.

Why Latvia is complex

Latvia binds whole sectors to their agreements.

Latvia sets most terms in its Labour Law, but where a general agreement covers a sector, as in construction, every employer there is bound by it.

  • General agreements

    The construction general agreement binds every employer in the sector, posting companies included, and adds a higher minimum wage.

  • Hours recorded electronically

    Larger construction sites record each worker's time electronically, in a system linked to the State Revenue Service.

  • Notified postings

    Postings are notified to the State Labour Inspectorate before work starts.

The solution

Ready to go for Latvia.

With a general agreement covering construction, the Latvian template records which one applies before anyone is put on a site.

  1. 01 · Notify firstNotification to the State Labour Inspectorate is requested before work starts.
  2. 02 · The agreement that bindsRecord the general agreement for the sector against the project, so its terms are clear to everyone.
  3. 03 · Details for the siteWorkers give the identity details a larger site's systems ask for, from their phone.
  4. 04 · Status, not guessworkEvery worker carries one status, with the reason beside it, once reviewers have been through their items.
