v

Section:
Section 45 (1) Employment Relations Act 2007
Subject:
Failure to Produce Time and Wages Record
Matter Number:
ERT Criminal Case No 7 of 2017
Appearances:

Date of Hearing:
10 September 2018
Before:
Mr Andrew J See, Resident Magistrate
Date of Decision:
10 September 2018

Arising from costs thrown away, the Tribunal recognizes that the sum of $1275.00 has been incurred as a further debt by the Labour Officer in pursuit of the complaint[1]. The Tribunal recognizes that such an amount should be included in any debt claimed to be owed by the worker Mosheen Moeah Khan, when presented to the Official Receiver in pursuit of the original complaint. In addition, all parties should note that on 26 June 2018, that costs on that occasion were reserved.


In light of the orders made in Suva on 25 April 2018, to wind up the company, the Labour Officer must now take all necessary steps to pursue any complaint and claim for monies, with the Office of the Official Receiver.
