Hotel workers still have not received severance
Article by May 13, 2021
It’s beginning to feel like deja vu for former employees of the Accra Beach Hotel and Spa and some of their colleagues from the Hilton Barbados Resort and Spa as they wrestle once again with their former bosses for outstanding severance pay.
A group of over two dozen hospitality workers lined the entrance of the Hilton’s Needham’s Point property demanding assistance from Prime Minister Mia Mottley, Minister of Labour Colin Jordan and Tourism Minister Senator Lisa Cummins.
Over 100 ex-Accra workers who were laid off at the start of the pandemic more than a year ago, are yet to receive between 25-30 per cent of outstanding severance along with payment in lieu of notice.
