The workweek is limited to 40 hours, although longer hours may be required. The legal maximums for overtime hours are 66 hours per month and 426 hours per year. There is an official minimum wage, set by government regulations. Other, higher wages are established by contract. In principle it is enforced by the Labor Inspection Office, but self- enforcement is the norm.
Living costs are high and the current minimum wage is inadequate for a worker and family.
Worker complaints center on the lack of job security. Retirement benefits are controlled by a board composed of Andorran nationals although they represent only a small portion of the work force. There is no special court or board to hear labor complaints. The Government sets occupational health and safety standards, but enforcement is loose as there are no routine inspections. There is no legislation giving workers the right to remove themselves from dangerous work situations without jeopardy to their continued employment.
