Corruption Prevention Checklist – Recruitment of Construction Workers (23/8/2021)
Sourcing and recruitment of construction workers through "middlemen"
is vulnerable to abuse, e.g. soliciting and accepting "referral fee"
from workers in return for their recruitment or continuous employment in
construction projects or inflating the qualifications of workers to deceive
wage payments from employers. This practice would render the
"middlemen" and the workers involved liable to prosecution and
undermine the integrity and quality of the projects. Contractors and
subcontractors should put in place adequate safeguards against corruption and
malpractices in the recruitment of construction workers.
The Corruption
Prevention Advisory Service (CPAS) of the ICAC has recently
uploaded to the Portal the "Corruption Prevention Checklist – Recruitment
of Construction Workers", which assists contractors and subcontractors to
put in place adequate safeguards against corruption and malpractices in the
recruitment of construction workers. Project clients are also encouraged
to require their contractors and subcontractors to adopt or adapt the
recommended measures. Please click here to
