Bosses laughing at Home Office penalties
Back in the summer, I told how some bosses have a simple tactic when slapped with a Home Office penalty for employing illegal immigrant workers – they just don’t pay it.
Here’s another bunch who have been at it:
Mohammad Wasim Tayyab, 42, and Muhammad Aleem Tayyab, 44,
of East London. Two Home Office raids discovered a total of eight illegal workers at their Indian restaurant company, Tayyab & Sons Ltd.
The first visit resulted in a £50,000 penalty, the second in another for £45,000, neither of which has been paid. Sujon Miah, 44, of Worthing, West Sussex. Never paid a £45,000 penalty after three illegal workers were discovered by Home Office immigration officers at his company, Jaipur Restaurant (Worthing) Limited.
Murtaza Jan, 26, of Dewsbury, West Yorks. Never paid £30,000 for employing two illegal workers at Ma Hair Limited. Bunyamin Hurum, 29, of Uxbridge, Middlesex. Never paid £15,000 for employing one illegal worker at his business – BH Catering Limited. Tejsatwant Bansal, 70, of Ilford, London. Never paid £40,000 for employing four illegal workers at Imperial Windows & Doors Limited. Halima Ahmed, 38, of
Basingstoke, Hampshire. Never paid £20,000 for employing two illegal workers at her company H&B Restaurant Limited.
All these directors have since been banned from running limited companies for six or seven years, which I suppose is some sort of sanction, but doesn’t it make a mockery of the Home Office penalties if they’re so routinely ignored?
