Asking for HRDF deductions to be stopped


AS a worker and employer, I read with utter disgust and disappointment the recent reports on the massive cheating and stealing at the Human Resource Development Fund (HRDF).

The HRDF is funded by employers who contribute 1% of their employee’s monthly wages for the sole purpose of training, retraining and development of their workers. Thus, the money belongs to the employers and not to HRDF or the Government.
