The Grace Road Group has addressed the findings from the Ministry of Employment regarding alleged violations of the Employment Relations Act 2007 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1996. The ministry’s recent assessments indicated that the group may have failed to meet several legal obligations related to employee rights and workplace safety.
According to the ministry, additional investigations are being carried out in response to the concerns raised during their inspection of the Grace Road Group. However, the group has expressed that they were not notified about these inspections, making it difficult for them to comment on the alleged violations.
Employing over 800 local workers across its operations in Fiji, the Grace Road Group emphasizes its commitment to creating job opportunities within local communities. The group aims to foster rural development and encourage balanced economic growth across regions.
This situation underscores the importance of compliance with employment and safety regulations, especially for organizations that play a significant role in local economies. It serves as a reminder for companies to maintain transparent communication with regulatory bodies to avoid potential misunderstandings and ensure a safe working environment.
Overall, the Grace Road Group’s dedication to local job creation is commendable, and hopefully, they can resolve the issues at hand amicably while reinforcing their commitment to employee welfare and community support.
