Ok up until today I have been prepared to maintain a dignified view on the manner in which those of us who have been redundant have been treated.
I am well aware that employment law has not been followed, and steps are being taken to try to resolve this through legal channels. I am aware that the amount owed to those of us made redundant is greater than 1 months notice.
What I believed was that in spite of all these irregularities, Paul Stoddart would be a man of his word and that the pay for the days worked in March would be in our bank accounts by today.
My hearing isn't what it was, and the megaphone he used was rubbish, but I'm sure that Paul Stoddart told us that we would receive the monies for March as normal albeit only up until the 17th.
WELL WHY ISN'T MY MONEY IN MY BANK ACCOUNT YET THEN???
The company is still trading yet cannot/won't pay up what is owed to those it has made redundant. Is that legal?
This suggests that Paul Stoddart was being economical with the truth.
Those who wish to tell me that it depended on filling in the yellow form, are you aware that NOT ONE of those forms has yet been processed. They are 'still being collated' before being given to the receivers and on to the Govt. Dept.
That's going to keep my bank and mortgage lender happy is it???
Not connected with monies being sent to a different account is it???
This is the most devious and cack handed action by a Board of Directors that I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with.
The moral appears to be 'knock the staff down then keep kicking for as long as possible'
I am appalled that a high profile person such as Paul Stoddart feels that this is acceptable.
Take it from me matey it bl@@dy well isn't
