📄 Liquidator Findings – Empire Recruitment (Public Report)

The liquidator of Empire Recruitment Pty Ltd has issued a public report containing the following findings. These are the liquidator's findings – not Sentinel Due Diligence's conclusions.

1. Legal Retainer – Cordoba Legal Pty Ltd

The liquidator is seeking creditor approval to retain Cordoba Legal Pty Ltd for the provision of legal services on a costs basis in respect of legal claims against:

  • Rami Charamand (Director)
  • KPR Solutions Pty Ltd
  • Batoul Khayat
  • Third parties, collectively known as Defendants

The liquidator is required to obtain creditor approval as the duration of the retainer may exceed 3 months. A meeting has been scheduled for creditors to ask questions about the progress of the liquidation.

📎 Insolvency Notices – Empire Recruitment

2. Motor Vehicles – Unaccounted Assets

The liquidator's findings with respect to current and former motor vehicles (as per the RMS search results) were detailed in the Statutory Report.

On 8 April 2024 and 20 June 2024, inquiry letters were issued to the Director requesting details of the whereabouts for motor vehicles currently registered in the name of the Company, together with an accounting of the circumstances surrounding the sales proceeds with respect to motor vehicles previously owned by the Company.

⚠️ According to the liquidator's report, no response has been received to date.

The report notes that the disposal of these motor vehicles may constitute a potential breach of the Director's duties and/or potential voidable transactions.

3. ATO Proof of Debt

The Australian Taxation Office has lodged a formal proof of debt in the liquidation (per the public report):

Creditor Statement $ Formal Proof $ Projected Amt $
Australian Taxation Office 900,000.00 0.00 861,245.28

💰 Unpaid Tax & Missing Payslips – Worker Reports

⚠️ Multiple workers have reported that tax was deducted from their payslips but never remitted to the ATO. This is a serious allegation that warrants independent verification.

📋 What Has Been Reported

  • Missing Payslips: Some employees report that they never received payslips, despite being engaged as employees.
  • Tax Deducted from Payments: When employees compared their bank statements with signed KPR Recruitment timesheets, they found that tax had been deducted from their pay.
  • No Tax Remitted to ATO: After checking their ATO records (via myGov), employees confirmed that no PAYG withholding had been reported or remitted for those payments.
  • Unpaid Hours: Some workers report that certain worked hours were not paid at all – they were not compensated for those shifts.
  • Entities Involved: Reports have been received regarding the following entities:
    • KPR Solutions Pty Ltd
    • Empire Recruitment Pty Ltd
    • Auscon Projects Solutions Pty Ltd (active entity)

📌 Example Reported

"I never received payslips from KPR Recruitment. When I checked my bank account against my signed timesheets, I could see that tax had been deducted from my gross pay. But when I looked at my ATO record, there was no tax reported for those earnings. I also noticed that some of the hours I worked weren't paid at all."

🔒 Identity redacted – worker has provided bank statements, timesheets, and ATO records as evidence.

📌 Why This Matters

  • Employee Liability: If PAYG tax was not remitted, the employee may be held liable for the unpaid tax by the ATO.
  • Superannuation Guarantee: Where PAYG was not paid, superannuation contributions may also have been withheld.
  • Legal Obligations: Employers are legally required to remit PAYG withholdings to the ATO. Failure to do so is a serious offence.
  • Liquidator & ATO Action: The Empire Recruitment liquidator's report notes that the ATO has lodged a proof of debt (approximately $861,245) in that liquidation. It is not clear whether this includes unpaid PAYG liabilities or relates to other debts.
  • Current Entity Risk: The reports from workers regarding unpaid PAYG and missing payslips involve entities that have since been liquidated, but also involve Auscon Projects Solutions, which is a currently active entity.
⚠️ If you worked for any of these entities and had tax deducted but not remitted, or you never received payslips:
  • Check your ATO records via myGov to confirm whether PAYG withholdings were reported.
  • Contact the ATO directly to report your situation.
  • Consider contacting the liquidator if the entity is in liquidation.

  • Message: "hey mate, does this number ring a bell? i have a job with them and i saw your post"

⚠️ Information About "ABN Jobs"

🚨 ABN jobs generally shift the risk of unpaid entitlements onto the worker. In such arrangements, the worker is typically a subcontractor, not an employee. This may affect entitlements to: unpaid wages, superannuation, annual leave, workers' compensation, and unfair dismissal protections.

Readers are advised to seek independent legal advice before signing any documents from Elie C. or anyone using @kprrecruitment.com.au.

  • Multiple entities have been cancelled or liquidated.
  • New entities have been registered – sometimes using similar names – at various dates.
  • Public records show continued recruitment activity across entities.
  • KPR CONSTRUCTION PTY LTD (ACN: 168 775 817) was incorporated on 28 March 2014 and remains active.
  • KPR CONSTRUCTION & ENGINEERING SERVICES PTY LTD (ABN 13 617 783 249) was registered on 6 March 2017 as BK ENGINEERS PTY LTD and renamed on 26 October 2023. It remains active and holds business names including BK TRAINING & ASSESSMENT and BK EMPOWER[reference:2][reference:3].
  • BK Engineers (ACN: 672 273 826) is an active entity under director Batoul Khayat, with a registered business name Site Ready Training.
  • Concept Management Group Australia Pty Limited (ABN 22 673 151 196) is active, with Batoul Khayat as registrant contact for conceptmg.com.au.
  • BK Engineers has applied for a government infrastructure contract.
  • Liquidator inquiries regarding motor vehicles have reportedly gone unanswered (per the public liquidator report).
  • Legal action is being pursued against directors, including Rami Charamand and Batoul Khayat (per the liquidator report).
  • The ATO has lodged a significant proof of debt (approximately $861,245) in the Empire Recruitment liquidation.
  • A senior consultant (Elie C.) from the defunct KPR Recruitment is publicly recorded as recruiting for the new Auscon entity using the old @kprrecruitment.com.au domain.
  • Batoul Khayat publicly represented KPR Recruitment and KPR Solutions at an AABC event in April 2026, after KPR Solutions had entered liquidation.
  • Unremitted PAYG tax and missing payslips: Multiple workers have reported that tax was deducted from their wages but never remitted to the ATO. Some employees never received payslips, and when comparing bank statements to timesheets, it was clear that tax had been withheld yet not paid to the ATO. Additionally, some worked hours were not paid at all. This is alleged to have occurred across multiple KPR-related entities, including Auscon Projects Solutions (currently active).
💡 Factual Observation: This pattern of cancelled/liquidated entities followed by new active entities using overlapping branding is publicly documented. Readers can examine this pattern and consider whether it aligns with any known legal definitions.
