The Department of Labor has ordered two nonresident workers to immediately stop working from their employer that failed to promptly address deficiency notices in the workers’ renewal applications.
Labor administrative hearing officer Herbert D. Soll said the employment of Tirso B. Biquillo and Lily M. Castaneda with Sai Trans Co. Ltd. must cease immediately.
In affirming Labor director’s decision to deny Sai Trans Co.’s renewal applications, Soll gave Biquillo and Castaneda 45 days to seek a qualified employer.
Soll underscored the need for the employees to stop working with the respondent citing that the two continued to work for the entire year of their denied applications.
Labor records show that Biquillo and Castaneda were working for Sai Trans Co. and needed renewals in Nov. 2005.
Sai Trans timely applied the renewals, but Labor noticed several deficiencies and notified the employer.
Sai Trans did not take action, prompting the Labor director to issue deficiency notices.
Sai Trans did not respond to such noticed. The Labor director denied each of the applications early in 2006.
Sai Trans filed its first response in September 2006 by filing the appeals.
At the hearing on the appeals, Dorothy P. Canillo and Nanette delos Santos represented Sai Trans. The two employees did not appear.
