A corporation in Saipan, Guam has been found liable to pay $64,969 in unpaid wages and illegal deductions to 16 alien workers by the Department of Labor. Yong Jia Corp has been ordered to pay amounts ranging from $2724 to $4912 to 16 alien workers. According to labor records, Ulloa, a U.S. citizen and officer of the company, assisted On, the president and sole shareholder of the company in willful violations of the law by falsifying time and attendance records and distributing paychecks and cash payments to employees in a scheme to avoid full payment of wages earned.
Eighteen complaints have been files since the April 24, 2009 hearing; yet the officers, Ulloa and On did not appear at the hearing and reports have been filed that they have already fled the Commonwealth. The workers testified that the respondents asked them to pay processing fees, failed to pay their wages and to provide them with work for several months, did not pay them overtime and refused to reimburse their plane tickets.
Should a mandatory time and attendance system be enforced on certain companies to track and monitor labor compliance regulations?
I don’t support any mandatory monitoring system, because it means we move even closer to “Big Brother” watching, but these people who abuse and take advantage of others should be prosecuted to the fullest!!
I think Big Brother has been watching us for quite a long time - nearly every intersection has a camera, every time we swipe our credit card Big Brother is notified, even our cellphones are not as private as we may think.
That said, I’m not sure enforcing more laws such as mandatory time and attendance is the answer. I think there is a more fundamental problem which, if solved, will be the answer to this and many other problems we’ve gotten ourselves into - how to restore moral rectitude back into our individual, collective and social lives - otherwise we will always find ways to abuse any kind of law or system.

tks for the effort you put in here I appreciate it!
I don’t understand why this “Big Brother Watching” is such a big issue to some people anyway. If you do things right, then this is a non-issue!
