Brunei employer fined for failure to pay Pinay maid's salary

MANILA, Philippines - The Magistrate's Court has fined a Bruneian employer for failing to pay the salary of his Filipina maid for almost 15 months.

The Borneo Bulletin reported on Friday that Awang Haji Mahat bin Ahmad, the employer of Nurina Hadjiota, was ordered to pay a fine of $4,500 or face 30-week imprisonment if he would fail to pay the penalty.

Brunei's Labor Act mandates employers to pay salaries not later than 10 days from the stated date, according to the report.

The court gave Awang Haji Mahat two months to settle the fine with the help of a guarantor. His license to employ foreigners was also revoked permanently. - Kimberly Tan, GMANews.TV
