55. (1) An application for a work permit shall be accompanied by the work permit fee and the application fee, which fees shall be paid into General Revenue; but, where the application is unsuccessful, the notification of refusal shall be accompanied by an authorisation for a refund of the work permit fee to the applicant.
Subsection (1) notwithstanding, no fee shall be charged in respect of a work permit authorising the gainful occupation of —
children and young persons under the age of eighteen; or
such other class or classes of persons as may be prescribed from time to time.
Where a work permit authorises the gainful occupation of a worker while he is in the service of an employer, any fees payable under subsection (1) in respect of such work permit, or any prescribed security in respect of the entry of that worker into the Islands, shall be paid by the employer, and it shall be an offence for an employer —
to seek or receive from any such worker any moneys or other compensation or benefit as reimbursement of, or contribution towards; or
to make any deduction from any remuneration due by him to any worker on account of, or in respect of, those fees or that security.
A person who contravenes subsection (3) commits an offence.
