Údarás to take call centre firm to task over unpaid wages

ÚDARÁS na Gaeltachta is expected to apply in the courts this morning to take the assets of a Scottish company into receivership in order to secure the money owed to both itself and the company’s 108 employees.

Contact 4, a financial call centre, announced two weeks ago, without prior warning to its employees, that it was shutting down its three operations in the Gaeltacht areas of Kerry, Donegal and Mayo.

Since that time, the workers have not received the pay to which they are entitled for the previous five weeks’ work.
