Former PCM workers chase redundancy cash

Thirty former workers at consultant PCM are still chasing outstanding wages and redundancy cash.

PCM went into administration alongside parent company Pettifer Construction in November. PCM has since been bought by Confluence Property Management, who took on 64 staff.

But those who left the firm before the takeover now have to chase administrator KPMG for outstanding wages and redundancy money.

Contractjournal.com understands that staff were told there was no money to pay wages prior to KPMG being appointed.

Eighteen people decided to resign over not being paid and another 13 were made redundant before the administrators took charge.

A KPMG spokeswoman said: "It's unfortunate, but these 31 will now be treated as creditors and will have to pursue their money that way."

One former employee said: "It's a scandal the way these people have been treated."
