A Nottinghamshire company has denied claims from former employees that they haven't been paid and are having their final wages kept from them. Stray's Coffee is a family business by brother and sister duo Liz Mack and Mat Short that first established itself in Newark in 2003 and his since expanded to stores in Oakham, Market Harborough and Stamford.
More than 20 former members of staff across the various stores have reportedly come forward and say they have not been paid their wages, which has caused them to struggle financially. One former employee, Lauren Hicks, worked at both the Market Harborough and Oakham stores.
She said: "There’s 22 or 23 of us who haven’t been paid, and 95% of us all worked our notice. I am owed roughly £2000. " She explained that she is owed five weeks of pay in addition to holiday pay.
