The Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (Zupco) management has been given until April 14 by the employees' legal representative to show how much they owed to each of the 800 workers in outstanding wages after they won their arbitration case on Monday last week.
Independent arbitrator John Ndomene presided over the dispute between Zupco and its more than 800 employees.
The workers' legal representative Exodus Donzvambeva of Wintertons Legal Practitioners wrote to the parastatal's CEO Tendai Masaire on Tuesday this week demanding that Zupco avails to him the amounts owed to each employee following the arbitration award by Ndomene.
"In order to give effect to the award, they request that you supply us with the figures of the amounts due and owing to each of the employees according to the records which you are, by law, obliged to keep," Donzvambeva said.
"Once they get the figures they shall seek verification from our clients and if they do not agree with same they shall seek verification from our clients and if they do not agree with same they shall proceed to approach the arbitrator for quantification proceedings to be held."
Donzvambeva said the figures should be supplied on or before April 14 2015.
Should management fail to provide the information, the matter would be referred to the arbitrator for quantification without further notice to them.
