Unik Construction Company is catching heat around Mzimba Boma after workers say the firm booted them without hearings or proper paperwork and still owes them money. Former employees claim they got axed suddenly with no written termination notices or legit reasons, which violates labor rules in Malawi.
A media outlet sent the company's HR team questions about how many people got fired, whether they followed the Employment Act, and why paychecks are late. The Labour Office reportedly got complaints from some ex-workers about wrongful dismissals. Someone named Elisha responded through WhatsApp, saying he won't share company info with strangers, even though the reporters already gave their credentials.
The company hasn't explained if it plans to meet with the dismissed staff or address the unpaid terminal benefits and final wages.
