Some former workers of the now closed Toucan Connections Incorporated in Linden have started to receive their severance payments months after the call centre closed its doors abruptly however they continue to complain that they have not been paid the full amounts while others are still waiting.
Stabroek News spoke to some of the workers yesterday and was informed that some received as low as $6,000 while the highest payout was just over $180,000. The payment was also done in an ad hoc manner as the former employees were not officially told that they were going to receive payment but it was done through word of mouth.
And even as they await more of the monies due, the former employees are also calling on the government to have another call centre open its doors in the same building which is owned by the state.
