A RESTAURANT which closed amid claims it was owed £85,000 from the government’s Co-Funded Payroll scheme has been ordered to pay £6,000 in unpaid wages to two former staff members.
Shinzo in St Aubin – which specialised in sushi, steak and cocktails – announced in May that it would close when its owner Gavin Roberts said he was owed money from the government’s pandemic fund.
However, this was disputed by Customer and Local Services director general Ian Burns who said that the business had received ‘funds in the region of £229,000’ from business support schemes.
Now two former staff members – Vasile Buciuman and Lorena Breton – have had claims for unpaid wages confirmed by the Employment and Discrimination Tribunal, for £3,241 and £2,725 respectively.
