Haldanes’ staff claim two weeks without wages

The supermarket which went into administration last week is facing a barrage of complaints by staff that allege they haven’t been paid in two weeks.


Eighteen Haldanes employes at a branch in Caithness, Scotland, registered the complaint. The shop is among the four out of 13 Scottish Haldanes stores that closed today after the company went into administration.


Caithness store manager Jennifer Oliphant told press the company had struggled to meet wage bills and deliveries of produce.


Upon reporting on the opening of Haldanes’ UGO launch last week, My Retail Media was inundated with comments from employees stating similar claims to those from the Caithness branch.


One reader stated that Haldanes had “told all our staff we won’t get any pay owing no redundancies so nothing at all.” Another reader stated that Ugo’s Biddulph store, only open since April, will close today, after “a short lived episode in the fight for customers in the Biddulph area.”


Launched less than two years ago, Haldanes was the first new supermarket chain in the UK for 27 years.
