One nonresident worker was denied authorization to work in the CNMI while another has 45 days to look for a new employer, as the Department of Labor Hearing Office affirmed the denial of permit applications filed for them by separate employers.
Hearing officer Herbert D. Soll upheld the decision of the Division of Labor to deny the application for Cao Wensheng after finding that the employer, American R.F. Corp., has failed to correct the deficiencies that prompted the denial.
Wensheng is in China awaiting developments on his permit application.
Soll noted that the application filed in May 2004 was denied for failure to include eight supporting documents, including a certified job vacancy announcement and the surety bond.
“The application remains in the same incomplete state after nearly six months from the date of filing and more than four months since the appeal was filed,” the hearing officer said.
Likewise, Soll affirmed the denial of the permit application filed by employer Marcos Fejeran, who was hiring Rosalie Concepcion as a houseworker. The application was denied because it was filed late.
At the hearing, Fejeran provided sufficient explanation for the untimely filing. However, he said he is no longer able to hire the employee and wishes to be excused from the application as the employer.
Soll said Concepcion was not at fault in the matter. He granted her 45 days to seek a new job and have the transfer employer file an employment application for her.
