Two employers sanctioned for violating requirements under Enhanced Supplementary Labour Scheme
******************************************************************************************
Upon investigation, the LD established that the above companies had breached the requirements under the ESLS, including:
(1) Small Girl Money Exchange Limited, while applying for the importation of tellers, provided false applicant information; and
(2) Tai Lee Frozen Meat Company Limited, while applying for the importation of food processing workers, failed to notify the LD of the change in the applied posts before the commencement of the local recruitment exercise and provided false local recruitment results.
A spokesman for the LD stressed, "Employers applying for the importation of workers under the ESLS should strictly comply with the scheme requirements, including according priority to employing suitable local workers. The ESLS stipulates that if an employer violates labour or immigration laws, the requirements of the ESLS or the Standard Employment Contract, the LD will impose an administrative sanction on the employer. Such sanctions may include terminating the processing of submitted applications of the employer, withdrawing approvals for the importation of workers previously granted, and refusing to process any subsequent applications submitted by the employer."
