Company went bust on the 26th Jan 09. All 28 workers were due to be paid monthly salary and additional one month 'lay time' - nothing was paid and cannot contact anyone for info. What is the way forward?

    Has an Official Receiver been appointed?

    Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam No idea why you removed it as it was something I learnt from this site - bizarre

    Contact the official administrator who will organise salary payments - may take some time.

    Are you sure about "lay time"? I hear this often when people are confused about being paid a month in arrears.

    have a look on http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/

    any ltd and plc (i think) co's should be listed, and maybe any known receiver details..
