Unconfirmed reports claimed last week that Mugabe's Gushungo Holdings was having difficulty paying its workers.
"We have always been paid on the 22nd of each month but this time we have not been paid our July salaries yet. We have not been paid and are not sure when we will," said a worker who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Repeated efforts to seek comment from the firm's management headed by Stanley Nhari were fruitless. Nhari's mobile phone was not being picked up on Friday and remained unreachable yesterday.
Mugabe's government is also finding it difficult to pay its civil servants as economic stagnation continues to take its toll.
According to the Supreme Court judgment an employer or an employee may terminate a contract of employment service by giving notice in terms of the contract but such notice shall be three months in the case of a contract without a limit of time or a contract for a period exceeding two years.
