By The SUN
An employment agency operating out of three offices across Hong Kong has had its licence revoked for
multiple violations of the industry’s Code of Practice, according to a press release issued today, Jul 23, by the Hong Kong Labour Department.
The press statement identified the
agency as Saint Happy Maids Agency, which has offices in Mong Kok, Yuen Long
and Tsuen Wan.
Saint Happy Maids was found to have involved itself in the
financial affairs of foreign domestic helpers, failed to draw up service agreements
with employers, failed to include all required items in the service agreement
with employers and helpers, and failed to provide receipts for payments
made by employers.

It was the third agency to be stripped of its license by LD’s Employment Agency Administration this year. The two others were Fardiansyah International Limited in Yaumatei and Perfect World Employment Services Co in Tai Po,
Last year, eight agencies lost their licence for
non-compliance with the Code, including Unity
Employment Limited, Happy J Employment Agency, Tin Wai Employment Company
Limited, Good Family Employment Agency Company Limited, Galaxy Maid Employment
Consultants Limited, and JK Company.
Three agency operators were prosecuted, while at least 20
agencies were warned for various violations, including Saint Happy, which
received a warning on Feb. 19.
The statement said the Employment Ordinance empowers the
Commissioner for Labour to revoke the license of an EA if he is satisfied the
licensee concerned or an individual employed by the licensee has not complied
with the Code.
“The Code sets out the salient legal requirements that EA
operators must observe in operating their business, as well as the minimum
standards which the commissioner expects from EAs,” an LD spokesman said.
The LD reminded all employment agency operators to comply
with the law and the provisions of the Code at all times.
