Gas company must pay former director £130,000 after employment tribunal

A gas company which is part of a group planning to tap into reserves off the Island’s coast has been told it must pay more than £130,000 to a former employee after a tribunal.

Crogga Energy and Crogga Operations were taken to the employment tribunal by Richard William Hugh Diccen Sargent over unpaid salary.

The hearing was told both were part of the Crogga Group and Crogga Operations had gone into liquidation – employees agreed to defer their salaries as funds ran low, but Mr Sargent claimed he’d never been paid under an agreement with the company.

Crogga Energy was ordered to pay a total of £131,646.
