NCB Construction Charged With Failure To Pay Wages, Severance Pay & Vacation Pay

By Alric Lindsay

NCB Construction Ltd., represented by its operations manager, appeared in the Summary Court today, October 20, 2026, facing ten active counts: five counts of failure to pay wages, two counts of failure to provide severance pay, and three counts of failure to pay vacation pay.

The company’s operations manager, Mr. Mattheson, indicated in court that the company does not intend to retain a lawyer as it wants to resolve the matter by paying the outstanding sums. Regarding this, he said that NCB has already successfully made 5 out of 10 required compensation payments directly to the affected individuals. He promised the bench that the remaining five balances would be completely settled within the next two weeks.

Notwithstanding this cooperative stance, Crown Counsel from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions informed the court that a separate batch of health insurance violation charges had been submitted four weeks ago and are currently working their way to court.

The Chief Magistrate adjourned the matter to December 1, 2026, to strictly monitor the completion of the restitution payments.
