A skilled worker from Linz who was not paid for almost 400 hours of overtime. A man suffering from dementia who, despite the high level of care required, only received level 2 care allowance. A consumer who accidentally released a payment by clicking on a link and wanted it back from the bank: The Upper Austrian Chamber of Labor was concerned with numerous concerns and questions in the areas of labor and social law, in the event of the employer’s insolvency or consumer protection issues last year . 343,529 people contacted the AK with questions, concerns or problems in 2024 (the second highest figure after 2020). With 230,078 inquiries, the majority were in the area of labor and social law (including insolvencies). “We managed to win almost 132 million euros for our members,” said AKOÖ President Andreas Stangl, who presented the performance balance with AK director Andrea Heimberger on Thursday. 64 million euros went to social law cases, 48 million euros to insolvency law and 15 million euros to labor law.
