Waso Cafe, a restaurant in Hong Kong’s Prince Edward district, has been prohibited from employing non-local workers. This decision stems from the restaurant submitting inaccurate information in its application to the Labour Department. The application sought to bring in servers, junior cooks, and dishwashers through the Enhanced Supplementary Labour Scheme (ESLS). The Labour Department has issued an administrative sanction against Waso Cafe and cancelled their ESLS application. This action highlights the department’s commitment to enforcing proper procedures for employing foreign workers. The case serves as a warning to businesses regarding the importance of truthful and accurate information in labour-related applications. Further details of the sanction were not immediately available.
