In Hungary, the Labour Inspectorate functions as the 'employment supervisory authority,' operating under the National Labour Office (NMH) and its Labour Inspection Units within the Government Offices. This body is responsible for conducting inspections to ensure employers comply with the minimum requirements of the Labour Code and other labor law regulations, including those related to working conditions, wages, and non-discrimination. They can impose administrative fines for violations and investigate complaints.
