MPFA recovers MPF non-payment for three employees
************************************************* The Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority (MPFA) today (September 21) pursued two claims in the Small Claims Tribunal for some $44,000 on behalf of three employees, who were owed MPF contributions by their employers.
At today's hearing, the defendant, Rico Stone Company Limited, did not dispute the amount claimed. The Adjudicator ordered it to pay the MPFA the sum of $25,376.55, being mandatory contributions in arrears and surcharge payable.
The other defendant, Ling Suk Yee trading as The Miss Co, did not appear at today's hearing. In her absence, the Adjudicator ordered the defendant to pay the MPFA the sum of $19,256.92, being mandatory contributions in arrears and surcharge payable.
The amounts awarded will be reimbursed to the employees' MPF accounts as soon as they are received by the MPFA. The court further awarded payments of $130 and $120 as costs in respect of the claims.
Rico Stone Company Limited pleaded guilty at Kwun Tong Magistracy earlier to five counts of failing to make MPF contributions on time and was fined $10,000.
