阻断措施期间要员工上班?16非必要服务公司接人力部罚单!

有民众申诉,一些非必要服务公司仍在未获准运营前,仍执意要求员工上班。 而根据人力部于本月8日发表文告,当局在4月7日至5月5日期间进行稽查,有170家非必要服务公司,在阻断措施期间,在未获得任何运营批准下,仍照常营业。 对此,当局采取行动,对16家公司被罚款,共1万6000元。其余涉事商家也接到严厉警告。 人力部文告也指出,上月期间,人力部对1万5000工作场所进行检查,大多公司都遵守阻断措施规定,包括安全距离措施。 不过,也有29个工作场所,因违反社交距离措施,总共被罚款2万9000元。他们未能做好人群管控、进行体温检测、以及追踪上班职员和工作场所的访客。 人力部强调,当局将会严正以待,也呼吁员工或民众若发现非必要服务正在运营,可到SnapSAFE手机应用程序或发电邮到[email protected]申诉。
