The Department of Labor Hearing Office has reversed the denial of permit applications filed by an employer for five nonresident workers.<\/p>\n
In a Nov. 24 administrative order, hearing officer Linn Asper allowed workers Chen Jing, Zhang Yan, Rafael Alvarado, Aurea Baloloy, and Estrella Jumilla to transfer to or continue working for employer Mariano K. Pangelinan.<\/p>\n
The Division of Labor earlier denied the permit applications filed for the five workers due to deficiencies. The missing requirements included a certified job vacancy announcement in applications for Chen, Alvarado, and Jumilla; tax documents in the application for Zhang; and cash bond in the application for Baloloy.<\/p>\n
But in a Nov. 23 hearing, Pangelinan showed proof that he had complied with the requirements, prompting Asper to reverse the Labor division\u2019s denial of the applications.<\/p>\n
However, Asper noted that the lapse of time between Chen and Zhang\u2019s denied applications and the hearing office\u2019s decision means that another renewal application is now due.<\/p>\n
Thus, Asper ordered Pangelinan to file new renewal applications for Chen and Zhang on or before Dec. 31.<\/p>\n
At the same time, Asper told the Division of Labor to resume processing the applications for Alvarado, Baloloy, and Jumilla.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the employer fails to comply with any of the conditions stated in this order, the department may order the employer to show cause at a hearing as to why sanctions, which may include a bar from employing nonresidents workers in the Commonwealth, should not be imposed on the employer,\u201d Asper said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
