Employees of the well-known armored door company Plieninis Skydas and of the Lithuanian Trade Union Confederation representing their interests were presented on the tv3.lt portal.
Employees complain that they have not received wages since November last year. In total, the company owes more than half a million euros to employees.
“It just came to our attention then. They write requests to resign, but the company does not notify Sodra, so the employees cannot apply to the Employment Service.
Subsequently, the employees filed for bankruptcy of the company to receive benefits from the Guarantee Fund, which provides guarantees to employees in the event of the insolvency of their employer. However, the court’s decision to initiate bankruptcy was appealed and returned for reconsideration, ”the Lithuanian Trade Union Confederation commented on the situation.
The employees allegedly requested help in almost all cases: the State Labor Inspectorate, the Labor Disputes Commission, the court, Sodra. This had prohibited the company from hiring employees, but for some reason it later gave permission again.
“The company is accepting new people who leave again after a month and a half without receiving salary. Also, even when the company paid wages illegally, wages were paid in envelopes. The Financial Crime Investigation Service (FNTT ) has already started an investigation into the shares of the company, “said company staff.
The FNTT confirmed to the tv3.lt portal that a pre-trial investigation is currently underway, for which it did not reveal any further details related to the company.
