The ministry said Sidloski has been charged with producing or distributing false or misleading information “including producing false payroll records,” misrepresenting employment opportunities including the position, duties, length of employment, wages and benefits or other terms of employment, and taking unfair advantage of a foreign national’s trust “or exploiting their fear or lack of experience or knowledge.”
He’s also facing similar charges in relation to the second worker.
The ministry said the alleged offences happened at HELP International Shelterbelt Centre, a tree farm in the Weyburn area, between May of 2022 and August of 2024.
The ministry said its Program Compliance Branch works to protect the rights of foreign workers and immigrants in the province, and encouraged any workers to contact the branch if they believe their rights have been violated or wish to file a complaint about the recruitment or immigration process.
“You do not need permission from anyone to contact the Program Compliance Branch, and all your information will be kept confidential,” the ministry said.
