The Ministry of Employment, Labour, and Social Security has released a strong statement condemning Beowulf Worldwide Sierra Leone for allegedly ceasing operations without notice, leaving employees unpaid, and failing to meet essential legal obligations.
According to the ministry, Beowulf Worldwide has neglected to provide end-of-service benefits to its employees, defaulted on obligations to the National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT), and failed to formally notify the ministry of its closure. Additionally, the company is accused of operating without the necessary exit clearance certificate, which confirms compliance with employment regulations prior to ceasing operations.
Reports indicate that Beowulf management issued redundancy notices to staff in November 2024, assuring them of full settlement of financial obligations. However, the ministry claims these promises have not been honored, and the company appears to have abandoned its registered address.
The ministry, in collaboration with the Sierra Leone Union of Postal and Telecommunications Employees, stated that multiple attempts to reach Beowulf Worldwide’s management have been unsuccessful.
In light of these issues, the Ministry of Employment, Labour, and Social Security is demanding that Beowulf Worldwide engage in a peaceful resolution to address the outstanding matters. The ministry has warned that failure to comply will result in legal action against the company and its management.
