Minister of Work Zuhal Demir criticizes service check companies over administrative cost increases

Minister of Work Zuhal Demir criticized service check companies for announcing administrative cost increases. She called the increases "criminal" and is exploring legal options to curb them. The companies are raising their prices, with one adding €1.90 per hour and another changing its monthly fee to an hourly rate. Minister Demir stated the sector receives €1.6 billion annually in subsidies. Minister Demir is investigating all options to limit rising administrative costs, aiming for a legally sound regulation after previous objections from the Council of State.
