Staff from Wellington's Five Boroughs diner will get back the $32,000 in wages that they're owed.
The restaurant has liquidated from its former location on Majoribanks St, with liquidator's reports showing directors Bryn Thomas and Elie Assaf owe $32,400 in holiday pay and $360,000 to IRD.
Posting on the restaurant's Facebook page this evening, the directors said they met with the liquidators today and had reached an agreement which would ensure all staff would be paid in full by tomorrow afternoon.
"We've always had the staffs interest at heart and have been in their corner from the beginning," they wrote.
"We'd like to take the time to thank everyone out there who has taken the time to voice their opinions and concerns for the welfare of our staff and friends, not everything said has been in a positive way towards us personally or our restaurant but we know that everything said has come from genuine concern for the wellbeing of our workers. Please believe us that they were our number one priority as well and we have acted as swiftly as possible to try rectify the situation.
