According to CNA, a spokesperson of the restaurant said it was a “difficult decision”.
However, the restaurant was unable to “take the toll of the pandemic” any longer.
Thankfully, while the restaurant isn’t unionised (a member of the unions and thus, allow the respective union to fight for them), the severance pay was calculated according to inputs by the Singapore Hotel Association and the Food, Drinks & Allied Workers Union (FDAWU).
Besides that, the management will also be assisting their employees in seeking other employment or training opportunities.
