Who can report complaints through the SPES grievance mechanism?

• A. Only beneficiaries
• B. Beneficiaries and employers
• C. Only government agencies
• D. Only unions

Answer: (B)

SPES’s grievance mechanism is built to be accessible to those with direct involvement in the program: the beneficiaries and the employers who provide placements. Beneficiaries can report concerns about their treatment, stipends, safety, or fair access, while employers can raise issues that affect placements, compliance, or program administration. When both groups have a clear path to report problems, issues get noticed and addressed quickly by the people who understand the day-to-day realities of the program. Government agencies may oversee compliance and unions can advocate for workers, but the reporting channels are designed for beneficiaries and employers to ensure concerns come from those most directly affected.
