In February 2023, inspectors first visited the premises of Progros. The specific scope of their initial inspection was not widely reported. A year later, the inspectors conducted a follow-up review.
Although the family-run company was reportedly showing positive financial indicators, the inspectors discovered that employees had not received their required 2023 severance payments. When questioned, the company stated that it was unaware of the specific legal deadline governing the disbursement of severance funds. Consequently, the Inspectorate issued a fine to the company.
Subsequently, Fursa implemented further measures, including banning the company from hiring foreign nationals and blocking the company’s accounts, which left the workers without expected payments. During the inspection, the inspectors also identified discrepancies regarding the company’s administrative compliance. Specifically, the review revealed that Progros had been late in reporting certain workers to the health and pension insurance system.
This delay was noted after the inspectors randomly selected and reviewed the records of four workers. These combined findings resulted in significant operational restrictions and financial consequences for the company.
