| Comment | Five members of staff lost their jobs after Coia’s in Dennistoun took the decision not to continue furlough – saying the business would not require the same level of staff going forward.
Cafe owner Alfredo Coia said at the time that all staff had been paid what they were due.
However, the workers who were made redundant said Mr Coia had reneged on a promise to pay a week’s notice and enlisted the help of workers’ rights group Better Than Zero.
The group said their former employer has now agreed to pay all five notice payments of between £400 and £800.
Jonathan Heggie of Better Than Zero said: “The staff had all been let go without notice and obviously they are entitled by law to a week’s notice.
“It took well over a month. Eventually the owners caved when we got in touch and said you have an opportunity to make this problem go away if you pay up" |
