LABOUR DEPARTMENT WARNS AGAINST IMPOSTORS
******
The Assistant Commissioner of Labour, Mr. David Lin today warned
factory proprietors to be on their guard against bogus Labour Department
Officers who sought money for advertisement in a departmental publication
Guide to Workmen's Compensation Legislation.
-
Mr. Lin said recently proprietors had complained to the department
that a man who claimed to be a member of the Labour Department had sought
money for that purpose.
"No Labour Department Officer is authorised to solicit money for
any purpose whatsoever", he stressed.
Mr. Lin advised that any proprietor who was approached by anyone
purporting to be a member of the Labour Department should immediately
report the matter either to the nearest police station or the Senior Labour
Officer (Industry) at Tel: 3-688842.
The Guide to Workmen's Compensation Legislation, he pointed out,
is available free of charge at the offices of the Labour Department.
