Employment agency's application for licence renewal refused
**************************************************************
The LD refused to renew the EA licence of Treasure Jade Limited, located in Prince Edward, as its sole director had been convicted under the Trade Descriptions Ordinance.
Under section 53(1)(d)(i) of the Employment Ordinance (EO), the Commissioner for Labour may refuse to issue or renew an EA licence if the related person of the licensee has, within the preceding five years, been convicted of an offence involving membership of a triad society, fraud, dishonesty or extortion.
"Licensees and operators of EAs are reminded to conduct their business in compliance with all laws of Hong Kong and the Code of Practice for EAs at all times. Otherwise, their licence may be revoked, or their application for licence renewal or a new licence may be refused," a spokesman for the LD said.
Should there be enquiries about EA-related matters or complaints about suspected violations by EAs, please contact the Employment Agencies Administration of the LD (telephone: 2115 3667; email: ea-ee@labour.gov.hk; address: Unit 906, 9/F, One Mong Kok Road Commercial Centre, 1 Mong Kok Road, Kowloon).
