A web of companies owned by the Hong family concealed the employer; the Notice of Final Findings of 21 October 2025 established 438,204 USD, with OptumCare jointly liable as the client.
Clients of cleaning and service providers should check working hours and breaks at the provider – otherwise they are jointly liable.

23 Apr 2026 12066424 Canada Inc.Temporary staffing agency and director: CA$150,000 over unpaid wages €93,832
Following complaints, the labour inspectorate found, among other things, outstanding minimum wages at the temporary staffing agency in Leamington; an audit for 2022 showed that hundreds of employees were owed a total of CA$234,212 in regular wages, public holiday pay and vacation pay. The company and its director did not comply with the 2023 orders to pay; in proceedings held in their absence, the court imposed CA$100,000 on the company and CA$50,000 on the director (plus victim fine surcharge).
Companies that ignore regulatory orders to pay outstanding wages risk not only a corporate fine but also personal liability for management.
