Reid Workers To be Paid Soon
Former workers at the doomed haulage company, Reid Transport, should receive outstanding wages, statutory holiday pay and redundancy settlements in good time for Christmas.
Department of Employment officials have been at the headquarters of administrators, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, in Belfast to examine the calculations made about how much each employee is entitled to receive.
They said that if the data can be processed quickly, the department's Redundancy Payments Branch will be able to assure the former workers of payment of what they are entitled to soon.
The administrators are also confident that workers will receive any back wages owed before Christmas.
Two hundred people lost their jobs when the Cloughmills firm went into administration last week.
The workers had lifted their blockade at the company's gates on Friday afternoon, but it resumed because of confusion about when or if the money would be paid.
Directors of the company, Liam and Shaun Reid, have not been seen by the workers or the administrators since the news was revealed.
