For failing to post its job vacancy announcement in the CNMI Department of Labor\u2019s website, a company has sanctioned with a fine of $1,000.<\/p>\n
DOL\u2019s Administrative Hearing Office ordered AC Pacific, LLC, which does business as Star Sands, to pay half of the fine. The other half may be suspended for one year and then extinguished if the company complies with DOL\u2019s regulations on job vacancy announcements.<\/p>\n
The order said the employer failed to post job vacancy announcements at the DOL\u2019s website, while it posted the same announcements in a local newspaper.<\/p>\n
The department earlier sought a $2,000 penalty but because of the company\u2019s good track record in hiring U.S. qualified workers\u201451 out of its 91 full-time work force consist of U.S. citizens\u2014it was given considerations.<\/p>\n
It noted that this 56 percent is well above the minimum 30 percent set by rules.<\/p>\n
The order also favored AC Pacific in stating that the company did not fail in giving job preference as well as making good faith effort to hire citizens and permanent residents.<\/p>\n
However, DOL warned that any failure of AC Pacific in the future to post job vacancy announcements on their website or failure to post employer\u2019s declaration in a timely manner will result to reinstatement of the suspended fine as well as additional sanctions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
