Recently news broke out that Diamond Resorts International would be re opening its In-House Sales department. Before any vacancy was placed in the newspaper seeking a Project Director as well as an In House Marketing Director, there were already two Americans, Meggin and Sean who have already filled these positions. It appears that Diamond Resorts had no intentions of seeking any local candidates although there is a suitable candidate, the former UP candidate Glen Kemble to fill the position as Project Director.
The ads are placed as a decoy. According to the law, the Ad must be placed in the newspaper for six weeks and if in the event there are no suitable local candidates, the company can then seek other alternatives. You don't hire illegal candidates then pretend you are looking for applicants when you already have illegal candidates working on the job. At the end of the 6 weeks the company will be dishonest with the labor office, claiming that they have not found any locals, so that they will submit work papers for these illegals Americans who have already filled the positions that are currently being advertised in the news paper. I am almost 100% certain that Glen Kemble applied for that position.
In addition to hiring illegals, the company has also hired individuals who have been signed up under another company (Kemuel Henderson) from Dominica. According to the law quoted by the justice minister "The minute an employee comes to you with a permit that is under another company the permit becomes invalid the minute they begin working for you. I am going to this length to explain this to let employers know that they are operating in violation of the law." Employers who do not comply with the law are committing a crime and they will have to face the consequences." The Justice Minister said that these employers are acting in violation of the laws and his Ministry plans to take serious action which includes the implementation of fines that can amount to as much as Naf. 100,000.00.
We will be submitting the names to the immigration department and we will be closely monitoring the situation.
A few years ago immigration raided the Flamingo Beach Resort targeting two black Bahamian Directors in addition to other illegals. We will be patiently waiting to find out if preferential treatment will be given to these two illegal White Americans.
You will be updated next week in reference to these individuals including the employee who is signed up under another company who is currently employed at the Resort. Minister of justice, I trust that you will do your job. We will be following up with you next week.
