The Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority today (February 8) pursued a claim in the Small Claims Tribunal for some $30,000 on behalf of an employee who was owed MPF contributions by the employer.
Ma Sung Yuen trading as Po Kwong Trading Company, did not appear in the hearing. In its absence, the Adjudicator ordered it to pay the MPFA the sum of $31,075, being mandatory contributions in arrears and surcharges payable.
The amount awarded will be reimbursed to the employee's MPF account as soon as it is received by the MPFA. The court further awarded payment of $180 as cost in respect of the claim.
