The Fiji Post and Telecommunication Employees Association said Telecom Fiji continues to be un-cooperative in its dealings regarding the recent redundancies countrywide.
General Secretary, Attar Singh also claims TFL also failed to secure tax concessions on the redundancy pay from FIRCA prior to implementing the redundancies and deducted maximum tax to be refunded to members once FIRCA approval was obtained.
Singh said the association failed to understand why the company failed to obtain approval from FIRCA as it did in 2005.
Singh said they are reporting an employment dispute on the redundancy selection criteria and the formula used to decide the packages given to their members.
Meanwhile, TFL Group Manager Marketing and Public Relations, Vanessa Kilner said the redundancy terms remain a confidential matter between the company and its staff.
Vanessa adds with regards to FIRCA, this issue is still in process and will not comment on the matter.
