Employees of the Accra Beach Hotel and Spa and the Hilton Barbados Resort have been given the assurance that their outstanding severance is currently being processed by the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) and should be handed over to them “shortly”.
In a
Barbados TODAY interview on Tuesday, NIS Chairman Leslie Haynes Q.C. gave the assurance as he doubled down on the scheme’s commitment to assist severed workers across the hospitality sector, seemingly neglected by their former employers.
His comments come as the frustrated former Accra employees prepare to protest once again for the remaining 25 per cent of their severance and payment in lieu of notice that was promised by management by March 31st, but which was never delivered.

Frustrated former hotel workers, including those from the Accra Beach Hotel and Spa, have been given the assurance that they will receive outstanding severance despite continuous broken promises from their previous employer.
Minister of Labour and Social Partnership Relations Colin Jordan was responding to a fresh round of protests involving severed Accra Beach employees and those from the Hilton Barbados Resort, who were left on the breadline in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After loud protests last December, the former Accra staff secured over 70 per cent of their outstanding pay with a promise from management, backed by tourism minister Senator Lisa Cummins that the remaining monies, including payment in lieu of notice, would be delivered no later than the 31st of March.
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.
