Businesses were previously obliged to have reporting procedures in place “when indicated by circumstances”. From and including 1 July 2017, all businesses that regularly employ at least five employees must have such procedures in place. As such, many businesses that were previously not covered by this requirement must now prepare reporting procedures.
The rules can be found in Section 2 A-3 of the Working Environment Act, which also stipulates requirements concerning the content of the reporting procedures. As a minimum, reporting procedures must encourage employees to report unacceptable conditions, describe the reporting procedure and explain how reports will be received, managed and followed up.
The reporting procedures must be available in writing and must be easily accessible to all employees of the business.
