To date:
BTL has fully settled the severance claims in regards to Erven Marin Et al v Belize Telemedia Limited;
BTL has also settled ninety-eight percent (98%) of claims that are eligible based on the applicable limitation period;
The remaining two percent (2%), which represents three (3) former employees, have not attended BTL offices to complete the disbursement.
The Board of Directors of BTL continues to actively review the matter concerning the Belize Communications Workers’ for Justice (BCWJ) and non-members whose employment falls outside the six-year limitation period under Section 4 of the Limitation Act and anticipates completing its final review at its next sitting. In due course, BTL will formally communicate its position about those employees whose employment ceased more than six years ago.
