Sorry to hear about the business & your job mate, this seems to be happening more & more. Tuff times ahead me thinks.

[JackH]

Geez mate that's not good...I feel for you. I hope all works out well in the future.

[Disco Muppet]

Yikes, that's not a nice thing to come home to
Hope things work out in your favour mate.

I`ll be not far behind you. I finish up at joy-vile at the end of the week. At least it was six weeks work. Longest since Christmas. At least over the west, as far as I know by what I read and hear, there should be a bit of work around.
Cheers Hall

I hate that! and sympathise with you mate.
The pecking order is TAX man gets first bite of the cherry, I think employees entitlements come next, then creditors, that's after the liquidators take the crumbs.
I've been in that situation. It stinks when you are owed money

I know the feeling. Just before knock off Friday called in and told my casual position gone and could leave at any time. But they were still content to offer and expect overtime on a daily basis. So far calls to agencies have been less than optimistic.

Like Lloyd's Ships in Brisbane a few years ago. All fine on Friday afternoon, everyone went home for the weekend. Come Monday morning the place is locked up tight, security guards on duty, and the receivers and managers in possession of the premises. Workers not allowed in to pick up their tools. "Everything in here belongs to the receivers. Prove they are yours. Got invoices and receipts?" Took some heavy union intervention before the workers were allowed in under supervision to collect their personal belongings.
