Social Security Inspectors

Compliance Officers/Inspectors are duly authorized by Section 12 of the Social Security Act and Regulations to visit the employer's premises, or any place where persons are employed, and to conduct the appropriate investigation and examination of employment related records, to ensure that the proper procedures are being followed, in keeping with the stipulations of the Social Security Act.

The Inspectors are trained professionals, and are quite resourceful in clarifying, assisting and rendering advice to stakeholders on Social Security related matters. It is an offence under the Act to obstruct, impede, hinder, molest, or otherwise refuse admission to these Inspectors, or to refuse to furnish them with any information or documents which are required for the purposes of their inspection or investigation.
