The Labour Department (LD) today (Sept. 30) reminded operators of employment agencies (EAs) to conduct their business in compliance with the law and the requirements of the Code of Practice for EAs (the Code) at all times.

The LD has revoked the EA license of JB Employment Agency (JB) located in Kwun Tong. This is the first case of revocation of an EA license in 2024.

The license of JB was revoked due to its failure to meet the requirements set out in the Code in various aspects, including failing to draw up service agreements with employers during the provision of services, failing to provide employers with receipts for service fees charged; failing to brief employers on the laws relevant to employment of foreign domestic helpers (FDHs) and their rights and obligations; failing to provide employers with guidebooks, leaflets, information pamphlets and sample forms on the rights and benefits of FDHs; and failing to ask employers to confirm in writing that they have received the signed originals of standard employment contracts.
