The telephone number for enquiries of the Labour Department's Wage Security Unit (WSU) will be changed to 2923 5299 tomorrow (Tuesday).
The Unit verifies applications to the Protection of Wages on Insolvency Fund which provides ex gratia payments to employees who are owed wages and other employment termination benefits by their insolvent employers.
Since there is a four-month time limit for applications to be made to the Fund, employees who fall into the above category are urged to approach the Labour Relations Service (LRS) of the Department for assistance as soon as possible. Applications for ex gratia payments will be referred by the LRS to the WSU for processing.
