I have received correspondence from the person concerned regarding alleged breaches of labour legislation by the company concerned.

The wages and employment conditions of workers employed in the construction industry are governed by the Registered Employment Agreement (Construction Industry Wages and Conditions of Employment) Variation Order, which is enforced by the labour inspectorate of my Department. In this regard, I have asked the inspectorate to investigate these allegations in due course.
