Dear sir/madam just to inform you as a former employee from contact 4 you had better get yer facts correct we were paid our FULL WAGES AND ALSO A REDUNDACY PAYMENT ALSOonly thing left outstanding to us is a payment from our pensions that some employees invested in as its being held up in the courts because the company (contact 4) had not paid up 2 months in arrears we are still waitin to hearing from pension company to repay us that back
Mr. Moriarty,
Thank you for you comment. For the purposes of accuracy, who exactly paid the outstanding wages? Was it Contact 4? Or the tax-payer? I was informed that the Government's insolvency fund that footed the bill. If Contact 4 paid the outstanding wages then fine and I will update the story accordingly. If it was indeed the Government's insolvency fund then the company still left leaving behind unpaid wages. When the taxpayer foots the bill, after already providing up to 3million in grant aid through Udaras, that does not count as the company settling what they indeed owe to their employees. Feel free to respond, in the interest of accuracy I welcome all feedback.
