The case stemmed from the complaint of Mary Ann T. Decena and Raquel E. Tadifa, who said Elenita E. Camacho of offered them employment in exchange for a payment of $1,000.
Hearing Office Herbert D. Soll said the applications of Decena and Tadifa filed with Labor was a violation of the law for which Camacho was ordered to pay $1,000.
Labor learned that Camacho used Weena P. Dulay to create a phantom business in her name.
Dulay told Labor that Camacho promised to help her bring her mother to Saipan from the Philippines.
Soll said Dulay was aware of the fraud when she loaned her name to the scheme and she has been convicted of immigration fraud in Superior Court.
Dulay was fined and served a jail term.
It was also learned that Elena Espiritu, a notary public in commonwealth, affixed her seal to the employment documents without the presence of the parties.
But Soll said there was no evidence that Espiritu was part of the conspiracy.
“She has been reprimanded for her careless acts,” he said, but no further sanctions will be imposed against her.
Decena and Tadifa were allowed to transfer to a lawful employer but Camacho and Dulay are permanently barred from employing foreign workers.
