SEAS failed to pay the $21,685 awarded to complainant Imee T. Tupaz Taimanao, Labor Hearing Officer Jerry Cody said.
SEAS did not even appeal the order on the specified time to satisfy the judgment, he added.
He said SEAS is barred and disqualified from hiring, renewing or employing foreign workers in the commonwealth.
This sanction applies to new and renewal applications submitted by SEAS.
In his Sept. 3 order, Cody said all current valid work permits listing SEAS as employer of record will be revoked 45 days after the issuance of the order.
All SEAS work permits that are scheduled to expire after Oct. 19, 2009 are considered revoked.
The workers affected by the order will stop working on the same date, and are required to register with the Division of Employment Services and Training.
Cody said all SEAS work permits scheduled to expire before Oct. 19, 2009 will expire on their listed expiration dates.
SEAS will no longer be permitted to apply to renew them, he added.
All SEAS work permit applications currently pending approval at Labor are considered denied, and the affected workers are asked to register with the Division of Employment Services and Training.
Temporary work authorization may be granted to former SEAS workers on a case-to-case basis, Cody said.
But the prohibition imposed against SEAS will not be lifted until it complies with the payment obligation demanded by Labor’s July 15, 2009 order, Cody added.
