UK Restaurant Facing Fine!

During a seizure at an UK restaurant, UK Border Agency officials have identified a woman who was working in the restaurant illegally. The Indonesian lady was sent back to her home land last Monday. The restaurant in question is located at Cattawade Street, Brantham.

The raid has also helped immigration officials catch two other unlawful workers in the restaurant who are not permitted to work in the UK. Both illegal workers are from China, who claimed refugee status, but failed to obtain so. Now the UKBA has detained the two and looking forward to remove them from the nation.

As a result of employing unlawful workers, the Oriental Cuisine restaurant is going to face £30,000 of fine, if the employer cannot prove that they did carry out proper checks prior to appointing the workers into the restaurant. The Oriental Cuisine restaurant is facing hard time for the second time, for similar offense. Two year ago, it had faced a penalty of £15,000 and made to pay huge amount on similar instance of appointing illegal workers.

But, it seems that the employer did not get any lesson from the previous experience. The restaurant has already been facing penalty and now faces another possible penalty. There are many instances, where employers are not aware of the measures they need to take in order to avoid providing employment to unlawful workers. While illegal entry to a country is an offense, people who provide engagement to those who have entered a country illegally are also an offense. And those who try to violate the immigration regulations are bound to face challenges.
