The Club Barbados Resort & Spa will now be paying severed workers rather than the Government dipping into the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) and laws will be tightened to deal with companies that make salary deductions but do not pay into the fund.
This information was provided by Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley last night as she addressed the latest industrial unrest related to security firm G4S. She also revealed some details about other industrial protests in the tourism sector and sounded a warning on the NIS deductions.
She said that while the matter at The Club had been resolved with the hotel now agreeing to pay the severance rather than Government doing so, and that the problem at Savannah Hotel was being worked out, there was an – unnamed – establishment that was still having issues.
