Thu, 5 Feb 2015Recruitment without job orders, collection of excessive fees and failure to give appropriate receipts are among the reasons a Filipino recruiter has been temporarily barred from operating.
The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) has issued five separate orders of preventative suspension against the recruiter, All Overseas International Placement, after 38 of its applicants and the POEA itself filed complaints.
POEA administrator Hans Cacdac said in a statement the complainants allegedly applied for and were promised jobs as cleaners, housekeepers, waiters and waitresses in Palau. They were charged Php45k (£670) each as a placement fee.
The complainants claimed that having paid the placement fees and even waiting up to nine months, the agency still failed to deploy them to Palau, an island in the Pacific Ocean.
Cacdac said the agency had collected placement fees amounting to Php1.4m without appropriate receipts.
The orders of preventative suspension temporarily disqualify the agency from recruiting and deploying Filipino workers pending investigation of the cases filed against it.
