Counselling

The Labour Inspectorate can be contacted for advice via the following channels:

• The lawyer infoline 640 6000 operates on workdays between 9:00–16:30. This number is answered by Labour Inspectorate lawyers who can explain the Republic of Estonia Employment Contracts Act and answer related questions. If the question concerns the organization of work safety and occupational health care, the lawyer can share the phone number of the Labour Inspectorate specialist in the corresponding matter.

• Questions concerning employment relationships are welcome to be sent to the lawyers’ email address at jurist@ti.ee or the general email of the Labour Inspectorate at ti@ti.ee.

• You can also visit the labour inspectors and lawyers in person in all Labour Inspectorate offices across Estonia.

Consultations

The Labour Inspectorate affords employers the opportunity to invite a work environment consultant to their company. The consultations are aimed at improving occupational health care and work safety in the company, not to look for breaches. The aim is to help employers find solutions to prevent employee health damage and preserve their ability to work.

The consultant visits the work environment accompanied by the company’s representatives, examines the company’s documentation on the work environment and gives suggestions for improving the work environment, and/or updating the documentation.

In general, the employer is given some time after the consultation to execute the consultant’s suggestions, and inspectors will not check up on the company during that time period.

The consultation service is free of charge to the company, and the consultant’s visit can be arranged by sending a corresponding email to ti@ti.ee.
