It also failed to pay the awarded sums of about $439,000 within 14 days after the date set by the Labour Tribunal.
According to the court, the former director was prosecuted and convicted for his “consent, connivance, or neglect” in the offences.
In addition to the 200-hour community service, the former director was also ordered to pay the two employees an outstanding sum of about $439,000.
“The ruling will disseminate a strong message to all employers, directors, and responsible officers of companies that they have personal liability to ensure payment of wages and sums awarded by the LT or the Minor Employment Claims Adjudication Board to employees within the statutory time limit stipulated in the EO,” a spokesperson for the Labour Department said in a statement.
“The LD will not tolerate these offences and will spare no effort in enforcing the law and safeguarding employees’ statutory rights.”
