Cayman Islands: Wendy's fined over $125k for work permit breaches

The local chain of a fast food franchise, Wendy's, paid an administration fine last month of CI$125,325 to Workforce Opportunities and Residency Cayman, WORC after a raid earlier this year. 
 
Based on information submitted to WORC, an investigation was conducted in collaboration with the Department of Labour and Pensions, which found 14 counts of employing people outside the terms of their permits and one of making a false representation to WORC.
 
WORC Deputy Director of Compliance Mervin Manderson said it was a professional and efficient investigation, as he thanked those involved.
 
He said the actions by the Department of Labour and Pensions officers played a pivotal role in the success of the investigation and encouraged employers to ensure their staff have valid work permits and that their duties match the occupation on the permit approved by WORC.
