Employers have disappeared, money owed

Dear all,
Hope someone can offer some advise please.
The pub I work for has shut overnight, been cleared out and landlord has disappeared. I do the payroll as well as working behind the bar. The 5 staff are all due outstanding holiday pay, no wages due for shifts as pub been quiet so no bar work recently.
I have contact details for the landlord. What should I do? I don't think they've gone bankrupt, just done a moonlight flit on the rent, lease, bills etc.
What are they legally obliged to pay to staff? We all started there last November.
Any advise or ideas very welcome?
thanks for reading,
Vicky

Hi I would advise you and the others to immediately go and sign on for job seekers allowance - I think the government can compensate you in the event that your employer can't but they will know better - I am sure they deal with this a lot....
Other than that contact citizen's advice who may be able to help
I would contact the landlord to see if they have a forwarding address. Also if your pub was part of a chain you may have some redress from them.
Hope that is of some help...Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
