One-day delay results in fine vs employer

Posted on Dec 26 2005

Filing an employment application one day late has resulted in the imposition of sanction by the Labor Department on an employer.

Labor hearing officer Herbert D. Soll said in an administrative order that employer Lorylinda Santos miscalculated the period in which she had to file an employment application on behalf of nonresident worker Teresita M. Espino.

Soll imposed a $50-fine on Santos, but reversed the Labor Division’s denial of the application. Both Santos and Espino had appealed the denial before the department last Nov. 7.

“It appears from the testimony that the delay was caused by a mere failure to compute the period correctly and the imposition of a sanction coupled with a reversal of the denial is the appropriate result,” Soll said.

Soll allowed Espino to work for Santos during the processing of the work permit application.
