MPFA recovers MPF non-payment for seven employees
************************************************* The Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority (MPFA) today (October 7) pursued five claims in the Small Claims Tribunal for some $54,000 on behalf of seven employees, who were owed MPF contributions by their employers.
At today's hearing, Hin Sum Manpower Company Limited and Lasson Engineering Limited did not dispute the amounts claimed. The Adjudicator ordered them to pay the MPFA the sums of $29,455.80 and $6,734.63 respectively, being mandatory contributions in arrears and surcharges payable.
The other three defendants, including CPH China Limited, Hong Kong Oak-Tech Technology Company Limited and Yun Wing Construction Engineering Company Limited, did not appear at today's hearing. In their absence, the Adjudicator ordered them to pay the MPFA the sums of $12,642.62, $4,746.00 and $321.90 respectively, being mandatory contributions in arrears and surcharges 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 $110, $180, $230, $170 and $140 as costs in respect of the claims.
Hin Sum Manpower Company Limited and Lasson Engineering Limited pleaded guilty at Kwun Tong Magistracy earlier to six and eight counts of failing to make MPF contributions on time and were fined $21,000 and $8,600 respectively.
