關注組揭發甜品店「假招聘」 勞工處證屬實禁入外勞1年 程展緯批罰則太低
More than two years after the Enhanced Supplementary Labour Scheme was implemented, controversy over “fake recruitment” has continued. The Labour Department announced the day before yesterday (18th) that it had imposed an administrative sanction on DOUX Limited, which operates a dessert business, refusing the company permission to import labour for one year. The department said it had confirmed that, without approval, the company changed the conditions for local recruitment for the position applied for, including the workplace and scope of duties, and decided to impose the sanction. The case was exposed earlier through a field test jointly conducted by artist Luke Ching Chin Wai and the Foreign Labour Policy Research Group. Together with another previously confirmed case, Luke Ching Chin Wai told The Initium that the cases showed the Labour Department’s investigation was inadequate: “If an investigation as small-scale as ours could find two cases that they themselves considered to have ‘conclusive evidence’, the proportion must be very high.”
「補充勞工優化計劃」實施逾兩年，「假招聘」爭議不斷。勞工處前日（18日）宣布行政制裁經營甜品業務的 DOUX Limited，拒絕公司輸入勞工一年。處方指確認該公司在未獲同意下，修改申請職位在本地招聘的條件，包括工作地點及職務範圍，決定實施行政制裁。該個案由藝術家程展緯早前聯同外勞政策研究小組實測揭發，連同早前另一獲證實個案，程展緯向《獨媒》表示證明勞工處調查不足，「如果我哋咁細囈調查，都搵到兩個佢哋都覺得『證據確鑿』嘅 case，個比例好高。」

外勞搶工｜茶餐廳侍應剛被炒 控訴公司已入三批外勞 指施政報告新限制無助解困
The Policy Address did not halt the importation of foreign workers, raising only slightly the thresholds for importing waiters and junior chefs. A local waitress who had worked at a chain cha chaan teng for more than two years said the company had already brought in three batches of foreign workers. She recently received a termination notice and will work until Sunday (the 21st), meaning she will have to leave the job in just a few days. She said she was a “victim” of the measures relaxing the importation of foreign workers: “But the Government still isn’t changing anything. If foreign workers weren’t coming in today, we would still be very happy doing our jobs.”
施政報告未有叫停外勞，只對輸入侍應和初級廚師的門檻作小許提高，但「遠水不能救近火」，有本地侍應，在連鎖茶餐廳工作了逾兩年，公司已入了三批外勞，她早前已接到大信封，工作至周日（21日），即數日後，她就要「執包袱」。她表示，自己是放寬輸入外勞措施下的「受害者。」，「但係政府都唔改變。如果今時今日外勞唔嚟，我哋都做得好開心㗎。」

飲食業本地招聘會 有求職者指前僱主聘外勞後被炒
The Government’s importation of foreign workers has recently become increasingly controversial, with local workers being replaced. Under an arrangement recently “optimised” by the Labour Department, employers applying to import foreign waiters and junior cooks must hold recruitment fairs every week at Labour Department employment centres during the four-week local recruitment period. Three companies applying to import foreign workers participated at the West Kowloon Employment Centre this morning (10 September): Fairwood Fast Food Limited, Golden Phoenix Restaurant (Tuen Mun Town), and Mei Hin Roast Goose Restaurant Limited. There were 607 vacancies.\n\nA 《獨媒》 reporter was at the venue this morning. Between 10 a.m. and noon, only seven job seekers registered. One job seeker, who had worked in the catering industry for more than 10 years, said that after his former employer hired foreign workers, he was asked to change his work location and was subsequently told that he no longer needed to report to work. He has been unemployed for more than six months.
政府輸入外勞近日愈來愈多爭議，本地工人被取代。勞工處早前實施「優化」安排，要求申請輸入侍應生及初級廚師外勞的僱主必須在四星期本地招聘期內，每周於勞工處就業中心舉行招聘會。今日早上（9月10日）於西九龍就業中心，有三間申請輸入外勞的公司參與，分別為大快活快餐有限公司、金鳳大餐廳（屯門市）及味軒燒鵝餐廳有限公司，職位空缺為607個。
《獨媒》記者今早到場，在早上10時至中午12時，僅有7位求職者登記求職。有從事飲食業十多年的求職者稱，前僱主聘用外勞後要求他轉換上班地點，及後更通知他不用上班，至今已失業大半年。

實測應徵19職 輸勞前招聘疑搬龍門 空缺薪金工時異於廣告 勞處：會了解面試詳情
Employers applying to import foreign workers under the Enhanced Supplementary Labour Scheme must first recruit locally for four weeks. Artist Luke Ching Chin Wai, who previously exposed employers for unreasonably refusing to hire local people, has since June this year jointly conducted test applications for 17 jobs with the “Foreign Labour Policy Research Group”. They found that some employers offered salaries and work locations at interviews that differed from the versions stated in Labour Department recruitment advertisements, while some employers rejected applicants without explaining why. The newspaper’s reporters also conducted two test applications and found that an advertisement for a dishwashing worker said no experience was required, but the employer said at the interview that experience was necessary. A warehouse worker position also rejected a reporter for lacking “retail and department-store” experience (see separate report). Luke Ching Chin Wai said the Labour Department should proactively investigate whether there was a genuine need to import foreign workers for the positions and whether the vacancies were genuine.
僱主若以「補充勞工優化計劃」申請輸入外勞，須先本地招聘4星期。曾揭僱主無理拒聘本地人的藝術家程展緯今年6月起聯同「外勞政策研究小組」實測應徵17份工發現，有僱主於面試時提出的薪酬和工作地點與刊於勞工處招聘廣告的版本不同，亦有僱主在無交代原因下拒聘。本報記者兩次實測應徵亦發現，有洗碗工的招聘廣告稱毋須經驗，見工時僱主則稱需經驗，另有倉務員職位因記者缺乏「零售百貨」經驗拒聘（見另稿）。程展緯認為，勞工處應主動調查相關職位是否確有輸勞需要、相關空缺是否真實。

請外勞｜清潔公司淨康被禁申外勞一年 勞工處首度行政制裁：無理拒本地招聘者
Amid a sluggish economy and rising unemployment and underemployment rates, the Government’s continued importation of foreign workers has raised concern. The authorities earlier disclosed that 126 complaints had been received in the first half of this year, three of which involved breaches. The Labour Department announced today (4th) that it had imposed an administrative sanction on cleaning company Zing Hong Group, rejecting the company’s foreign-worker applications and suspending applications already submitted for one year from the end of July. This is the first case of an employer being administratively sanctioned since the Government proposed the Enhanced Supplementary Labour Scheme in September 2023. The department said the company had rejected local jobseekers “without reasonable grounds” during a four-week local recruitment exercise. In a reply, the department said it had received 296 complaints as of July this year, more than tripling year on year, but did not provide figures on the number of substantiated complaints or follow-up cases.
Artist Ching Chin-wai applied for a cleaner position at the company in June. He said he was not required to fill in any information during the interview and that the interviewer did not take notes, only asking for his full name by message after the interview had ended. He considered the Labour Department’s penalty in this case very light, saying that if the company did not have a manpower shortage, it would have suffered “no loss”. He also said the incident reflected blind spots in the department’s vetting process, adding that he had encountered similar situations when interviewing for several jobs.
市道低迷、失業和就業不足率攀升下，政府持續輸入外勞引起關注。當局早前透露今年上半年收到 126 宗投訴，其中三宗涉違規；勞工處今（4日）公布，行政制裁清潔公司淨康集團，由7月底起拒絕該公司隨後一年外勞申請，及中止已提交申請。這是政府自 2023 年 9 月提出「補充勞工優化計劃」以來，首宗僱主被行政制裁個案，處方指公司在進行四周本地招聘時，「無合理理由」拒絕聘用本地求職者。處方回覆指，今年截至 7 月接獲 296 宗投訴個案，按年倍增逾三倍，但未有提供投訴成立和跟進數字。
藝術家程展瑋今年 6 月曾應徵該公司的清潔工，指面試過程中不用填寫資料，對方亦沒抄寫筆記，直至面試結束後才用訊息補問其全名。他認為勞工處今次罰則很輕，若公司沒人手短缺是「無損失」，又指事件反映處方審查過程有盲點，指面試多份工作時都有類似情況。

向聘外勞公司 實測「本地招聘」 程展緯等人見 17 份工零成功 為什麼？
The name of the scheme for importing foreign workers has repeatedly changed. Two years ago, the government revised the scope and operation of the Supplementary Labour Scheme and renamed it the Enhanced Supplementary Labour Scheme. The scheme requires employers, when applying, to conduct local recruitment for four weeks first and give priority to suitable local workers to fill vacancies. After the “enhancement”, can employers really give priority to hiring local workers?
A grassroots worker, a tertiary graduate and an artist, Luke Ching Chin Wai, separately tried attending job interviews. Of 17 jobs, 14 resulted in “failed interviews”: in two cases, the applicants were offered part-time or casual work; three were not hired for allegedly lacking experience; two were not hired because of location mismatches; three received no further response after the interviews; and the employers in four cases could not be contacted. For the remaining three, the jobseekers rejected the employers themselves because the work did not meet their expectations.
輸入外勞的計劃名字不斷改，政府前年修改「補充勞工計劃」涵蓋範圍和運作，易名「補充勞工優化計劃」。計劃要求僱主申請時，必須先進行四星期本地招聘，優先聘請合適的本地工人填補空缺。「優化」過後，是不是真的就可以優先聘請本地工人？
有基層勞工、大專畢業生和藝術家程展緯，分別嘗試去見工， 17 份工作之中， 14 份「見工失敗」，包括兩份「被兼職或炒散」，三份被指經驗不足不獲聘，兩份地點錯配而不獲聘用，三份面試後無下文，四份更無法聯絡僱主。餘下三份，因工作內容不符合期望，求職者請僱主「食檸檬」，自行拒絕。

易志明指海陸空運輸維修技術員短缺 倡擴大輸入外勞至東南亞
The new Policy Address proposed establishing a new channel to bring in skilled technical workers, expected to provide 10,000 quotas over the next three years. Ip Chi-ming, a Legislative Council member for the Liberal Party’s shipping and transport constituency, said the government’s estimate was conservative, but still praised the authorities for taking the “first step”, saying: “At least there are some figures to supplement it.” Asked by inmediahk.net about the proposed new channel, Ip said the imported labour policy could be expanded to other Southeast Asian countries, such as Malaysia and the Philippines: “We welcome friends from any country, as long as you can meet our required technical standards; we will definitely accept you.”
新一份《施政報告》提出，設新渠道引入技術工種專才，料未來3年提供1萬個配額。自由黨航運交通界議員易志明指政府的估算數字保守，但仍稱讚當局踏出「第一步」，「起碼有啲數字補充先」。《獨媒》問到設新渠道的建議，易志明指可將輸入外勞政策擴大至其他東南亞國家，如馬來西亞、菲律賓等：「邊到嚟嘅國家嘅朋友我哋都歡迎嘅，只要你能夠達到我哋要求技術水平，我哋一定接受。」

管浩鳴倡公僕輸入外勞 公務員事務局：不符《基本法》
The Government recently announced the large-scale importation of foreign workers in several sectors. At a Legislative Council committee meeting this morning on civil service pay adjustment, Election Committee constituency member Kwok Ho-ming advocated importing foreign workers for some technical civil service grades. He also said that, if the mainland recruited Hong Kong people for public service positions, Hong Kong should follow suit and allow mainlanders to come to Hong Kong to work. Permanent Secretary of the Civil Service Bureau Cheuk Man (1965-12-29) Leung said that only Hong Kong permanent residents may hold public office, and directly hiring foreign workers would not be consistent with the Basic Law. However, services can currently be outsourced through private companies, which can hire the relevant personnel.
政府日前公布多個行業大規模輸入外勞，今早立法會一個委員會討論公務員薪酬調整，選委界管浩鳴就提倡部份公務員技術職系亦要輸入外勞，又稱內地招聘港人做公職員，香港應該仿效「調轉頭畀內地人來港做」。公務員事務局常任秘書長梁卓文回覆指，只有香港永久居民才可擔任公職，直接聘請外勞不符《基本法》，惟現時可以外判服務，透過私人公司聘請相關人士。
