Hiking worker in the district: warning of dangerous bargains!

In the Dahme-Spreewald district, there are new warnings of so-called hiking workers. These people offer manual services at extremely low prices, especially in Wildau and Königs Wusterhausen. The district reported that at least three incidents of contracts of order were reported to such migrant workers last week. The South Police Directorate confirmed that similar cases had already occurred in Schulzendorf and Bestensee in October. It is emphasized that many clients do not file a complaint because they often agree on site with the hiking workers, as the RBB reported.

The craftsmen are often in English and offer work such as roofing, paving or similar services. The quality of this work is classified by the Dahme-Spreewald regulatory office as poor. Also, the clients often do not know where the materials used come from. "We advise you to show skepticism and to request evidence of the commercial registration," said Andreas Schleicher, head of the regulatory office. Cheap offers could cause advance payments to be requested without warranty claims being asserted afterwards.

risks in order to assign

The district's warnings are not unfounded. Anyone who is committed to such companies could expose themselves to serious legal consequences, among other things because of illegal waste disposal or the commissioning of undeclared work. It is also possible that property owners with the consequences of inadequate work or poor disposal remain at the expense. In order to prevent such risks, it is crucial to commission only serious companies with evidence.

The methodology of the awarding of order and the approval of services, as described in the area of ​​process models, are very important. The correct documentation and understanding of the processes are necessary to increase the transparency and trustworthiness in the award, the process models emphasized that standardized documentation has a prerequisite for quality and verification. The avoidance of risks is also essential here to prevent corrupt structures that can arise from non -transparent awards, as is clear in the explanations of the process models.
