The Ministry of Employment, Labour, and Social Security has issued a scathing statement against Beowulf Worldwide Sierra Leone, alleging the company has abruptly ceased operations, leaving workers without pay and failing to meet crucial legal requirements.
The ministry claims Beowulf Worldwide Sierra Leone has neglected to pay end-of-service benefits to its employees, defaulted on National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT) obligations, failed to formally notify the ministry of its closure, and operated without obtaining a required exit clearance certificate. This certificate confirms a company’s compliance with all employment regulations before ceasing operations.
Reports indicate that Beowulf management issued redundancy notices to staff in November 2024, promising full settlement of financial obligations. However, the ministry asserts these promises have not been kept, and the company has seemingly abandoned its registered address.
Furthermore, the ministry, along with the Sierra Leone Union of Postal and Telecommunications Employees, report that numerous attempts to contact Beowulf Worldwide Sierra Leone’s management have been unsuccessful.
The Ministry of Employment, Labour, and Social Security is now demanding that Beowulf Worldwide Sierra Leone’s management engage in a peaceful resolution to address these outstanding issues.
The ministry has warned that failure to comply will result in legal action against the company and its management.
