So I work for banquets and many times they overstaff with these people from a staffing agency. The staffing agency is owned by one guy who seems to have some contract with out hotel. All of the workers he has are from countries like Venezuela or Colombia and cannot speak English at all. I talk to them using Google translator and they can still do the job so it's not like I mind.
I was talking to one of them using translator and then he told me he gets paid in cash and has no documents. I don't know why he would tell me that but I was surprised. Like how a big hotel can do that through an agency, like they never get audited or anything? How do they conceal the payroll expenses, do they just mark it off as something else?
