Korea Artiz Studio taken to court for alleged non-payment of employees’ CPF contributions
MOM is investigating Korea Artiz Studio for possible offences on non-payment of salaries.
Korea Artiz Studio, a recently shuttered bridal studio, faces legal action from the Central Provident Fund Board for alleged non-payment of its employees' CPF contributions, according to a joint statement released on August 28. The Central Provident Fund Board, the Ministry of Manpower, and the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management (TADM) made this announcement.
MOM is also probing the studio for potential breaches related to unpaid salaries, while TADM is facilitating mediation after receiving salary claims from five of the studio's former employees who contacted them between August 10 and 18.
A notice posted on August 14 at the studio's entrance in Carlton Hotel, situated near Raffles City Shopping Centre, indicated that the studio had closed its doors following unpaid salaries and the inability to reach the management. The premises were subsequently seized by the hotel on August 20. MOM, CPF Board, and TADM emphasized their commitment to assisting the affected workers with their salary and CPF arrears.
They urged employers to fulfill their obligations in paying salaries and CPF contributions promptly to their employees.
Employees in Singapore who face delays in receiving their salaries can file their claims with TADM through tal.sg/tadm/contact-us. TADM will aid these workers in recovering their salaries either through mediation or by transferring the case to the Employment Claims Tribunals.
