Employment agencies warned against unlicensed operation
Operators of employment agencies are reminded today (Sunday) to observe the regulations governing the operation of employment agencies and fees chargeable to job-seekers.
A spokesman for the Labour Department said operators had to apply for a licence from the department at least one month before starting business.
Employment agencies with branch offices are also required to apply for a duplicate licence for each branch office. The licence fee is $1,400 for a main office and $280 for a branch office.
The licence and Part II of the Second Schedule issued by the Labour Department should be displayed in a conspicuous position at the place of business.
As regards fees chargeable to job-seekers, the spokesman said under the Employment Agency Regulations, an employment agency could only charge a successful job-seeker a commission of not more than 10 per cent of his first month's salary. Charging any other fee, such as registration fee. is strictly prohibited.
