The former COO of the well-established bar and dining chain would hire workers who would be offered a $3,100 monthly salary. But these workers would have to return more than half their salaries as reimbursements for transportation and meal expenses.
The Ministry of Manpower discovered these offences after receiving a tip-off. Kaur is no longer with the company.
