Some temporary staff employed at the Barry Buddon shooting range during the Commonwealth Games in July have still not been paid, according to some of the workers.
One man, a Bulgarian national who was employed as a security guard at the range, says he is still around £700 out of pocket and also hasn’t received payslips.
Others also said Glasgow firm Sword Security’s treatment of security staff was “terrible”.
Workers at the games said they wanted people to know how badly they were treated by the company.
Security guard Ivelin Yordanov, 27, from Dundee said: “I am totally struggling with Sword, they still owe me between six and seven hundred pounds.
“I didn’t receive any wage slips between March and August so I have no idea whether I have been paid holiday wages or how much tax I have paid.
“They didn’t answer the calls, so I emailed them and they say they have no details of how many hours I have worked for them, which is nonsense, I have sent them all the details.
“July was my last pay, it’s like they are just making up the amount of money they are due me.”
Forfar man Douglas McWilliams said he too was late in getting paid and added: “There were lots of problems, plus all we got was a sandwich, a bottle of water and a biscuit to keep us going during the 12-hour shift. It was so hot people were dropping like flies.
“It was just a bit of a shambles, there are a few who have still not been paid and some people were treated terribly.”
Another worker, Gary Ironside, said the company’s behaviour violated employees’ working conditions and human rights and had led to some workers getting charged by their banks after their wages arrived too late for direct debits.
He said although he has now been paid, he has still not received proper wage slips and the company had failed to respond to dozens of telephone calls.
He said last night: “One senior man, Mr Jim McDonald, continually ignored my calls and emails. I finally managed to get him on the phone one day when he assured me personally and gave me his word that he would be looking into the matter and getting it sorted out and getting back to me within two days.
“That was in July and I have yet to hear from him.”
The Courier previously reported that staff had fainted near shooting ranges at Barry Buddon because they were not given enough water and were forced to stand at their posts in blazing heat during 12-hour shifts, according to staff there.
The company failed to respond to the claims at the time, however last night Mr McDonald promised to look into the latest issues.
He said: “I am unaware of Mr Yordanov’s issues but the first thing I will do right now is make sure that if anyone still needs paid I will pay them.”
Mr McDonald added that he was aware of complaints made by Mr Ironside but said that he had believed staff in the London office had dealt with his wage payment claims.
Mr McDonald also denied the company had treated people badly and stated that claims people were “dropping like flies” were not true.
