A Chinese construction company blames confusion between Chinese and Fiji employment laws for failing to meet its obligations to Fiji workers.

China Railway 5 is contracted by the Water Authority of Fiji to lay sewer pipes and water reticulation services in suburban Suva.

The company was accused of not paying superannuation contributions to their employees' FNPF funds.

Speaking to FBC News, the Company's Commercial Manager, Charles King, says there was a misunderstanding.

He says the company has pledged to pay all pending FNPF contributions from the last five years.
