Posted Worker Litigation
Legal representation in wage dumping sanctions, posting violations, and labour law enforcement
Posted worker litigation addresses sanctions and enforcement actions under Austria’s wage and social dumping laws (LSD-BG), including penalties for underpayment, documentation violations, and non-compliance with Austrian labour standards. We represent employers in proceedings before administrative courts and the Administrative High Court, defending against sanctions or appealing decisions when authorities impose fines for posting violations.
Who this is for
- Employers defending against sanctions for wage dumping or posting violations
- Companies facing immigration police enforcement actions for posted worker non-compliance
- Service providers appealing fines for documentation failures or labour standard violations
- Businesses managing multi-jurisdictional posting compliance and litigation risk
- HR and legal teams requiring specialist support in posted worker dispute resolution
