The Ministry of Labor today revoked 19 out of 21 foreign work permits following an initial audit of alien employment records in Montserrado County and its surrounding areas.
The revocations come from cases of misrepresentation, distortion of information, and non-compliance with legal requirements governing foreign employment in Liberia.
Institutions cited in the report include:
United Motors Corporation (UMC), located in Vai Town, where two foreign nationals had permits revoked for misrepresentation. One was listed as a manager but served as a spare parts supervisor; another as a manager but was working as a software specialist.
Pee Cee & Sons, also based in Vai Town, had three work permits revoked. All individuals were granted permits for branch manager positions but were actually working as salesmen.
Stop & Shop Supermarket, located at 24th Street, accounted for six revocations. Foreign workers were hired under the guise of managerial and technical roles but were working as receptionists, floor supervisors, human resource officers, and warehouse staff, with some not even submitting applications.
Boulevard Palace on 12th Street had one case involving a foreign national employed as a CEO assistant but serving as an assistant accountant.
ORCA, located on 14th Street, had three permits revoked due to misrepresentation or lack of application. One individual listed as an export expert was serving as a warehouse supervisor, while others held roles as salespersons and warehouse assistants.
International Aluminum Factory, based on 5th Street, had four foreign employees lose their permits. Though hired as a finance analyst, paint specialist, engineer, and branch manager, they were instead serving as office staff, warehouse workers, and desk officers.
