Talk Talk may bill no-show workers

TALK Talk workers booked into today’s staff party in England who fail to turn up may have to pay flight and other charges, it has emerged.

The company, which announced this week it is to close its Waterford call centre with the loss of 575 jobs, is proceeding with a social day in England for all its staff despite the bad news delivered to Irish workers.

A spokesperson said yesterday that he believed some Waterford-based staff will still turn up for the party — dubbed the “great getaway” by management. Flights and accommodation are being paid for by Talk Talk.
