Hired 'phantom' workers

ON PAPER, a River Valley Road restaurant was listed as having 40 Singaporeans on its payroll.
But three of those employees never showed up for work or collected their salaries. Nor were they likely to create trouble - because they were already dead.
On Monday, their boss Sambnani Anil Pritamdas, 34, was jailed six months, convicted on six charges of making false declarations about the number of Singaporeans hired and one of instigating his brother, a silent partner of the restaurant, to make a false declaration.
Eight similar charges were considered.
He will appeal against the sentence and is out on a $30,000 bail.
The case puts a literal spin to the term 'phantom workers', Singaporeans listed as hired so that the employer becomes eligible to employ more foreign workers.
The court heard that between March 2007 and April last year, Pritamdas submitted the particulars of Singaporeans he claimed were employed by his restaurant, Spize - The Makan Place.
Investigations carried out by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) showed that only 19 of the workers he declared were actually employees. The rest had never worked at the restaurant.
To cover his ruse, Pritamdas even put money into the Central Provident Fund (CPF) accounts for all these workers, knowing that this would back his claim of the Singaporeans he employed.
In mitigation, his lawyer asked that his client be spared a jail term. He said Pritamdas had tried unsuccessfully to recruit Singaporeans, who are known to shun restaurant work for the shift duties involved, among other reasons.
