Undeclared work: an illegal practice to combat
Undeclared work is an illegal practice that harms both workers and the State. This form of undeclared work occurs when an individual carries out a paid activity without being regularly hired and without paying the necessary taxes and social security contributions. In addition, these are often underpaid jobs without any contractual protection. Reporting a retiree who works undeclared may seem like a daunting task, but it is essential to put an end to this illegal practice. First, it is necessary to collect concrete evidence, such as testimonials or documents that prove the existence of undeclared work. Subsequently, it is possible to submit a complaint to the competent authorities, such as the INPS or the Labor Inspectorate. It is important to remember that the complainant can remain anonymous, thus ensuring their safety. Only through an incisive fight against undeclared work, will it be possible to protect workers’ rights and guarantee an equitable distribution of work, counteracting this illegal practice
that damages the entire society.
How to spot a retiree who works undeclared
Locating a retiree who works undeclared can be a complex task, but there are some indications that can help recognize this practice. First of all, it is important to observe the retiree and assess whether he performs a regular work activity, such as fixed hours or the presence of customers or colleagues. Often, retirees who work undeclared do not have a permanent place of work and may carry out the activity on an occasional or occasional basis. In addition, it is possible to check if the retiree declares his earnings and pays the corresponding taxes and social security contributions. Finally, it’s helpful to pay attention to any signs of unjustified enrichment, such as a higher standard of living than your stated retirement income. All these elements can be clues that lead to the suspicion that a retiree is doing undeclared work. However, it is essential to collect concrete evidence and report the situation to the appropriate authorities so that they can intervene appropriately

The legal consequences for those who do undeclared work as a retiree
The
legal consequences for those who do undeclared work as a retiree can be very serious. First of all, it should be emphasized that this practice is considered a criminal offense, punishable by financial penalties and even by imprisonment. Those found to be doing undeclared work risk facing legal proceedings that can lead to heavy economic and personal consequences. In addition, it is important to remember that retirees who work undeclared are exposed to a series of risks, such as the lack of protection in the event of an accident at work or illness. In addition, the undeclared worker is not entitled to social security benefits and does not accumulate contributions for his future pension. It is therefore essential that those who do undeclared work as a retiree understand the serious legal and personal consequences to which they are exposed and reflect on the importance of respecting laws and workers’ rights
