The Federal Employment Agency rejected the application of Görtz Retail GmbH in the provisional insolvency proceedings for pre -financing bankruptcy money for around 400 employees. The provisional insolvency administrator Dr. Gideon Böhm attentive to this possibility, since the previous bankruptcy event, on the basis of which the employees of Görtz Retail GmbH have already received bankruptcy money from the Federal Employment Agency, has not been eliminated. It can be assumed that the other Görtz companies Görtz Holding GmbH and Atlant Logistik GmbH will make the same decisions. “I can understand the disappointment of the employees. We check to appeal against this decision, ”comments Böhm this decision. However, the decision of the employment agency blocks the employees of Görtz-Retail GmbH the opportunity to assert their individual entitlement to bankruptcy money separately to the employment agency after opening the insolvency proceedings. A total of around 500 employees are employed in the Görtz Group.
Due to the decision of the Federal Employment Agency, the irrevocable exemption of employees in the already closed branches is necessary. Negotiations with the overall works council on the conclusion of a corresponding balance of interests will take place in the coming week. For employees who are required to maintain the business company, further employment is guaranteed in the provisional insolvency proceedings on the previous conditions of the employment relationship. The irrevocably freely freely freelance employees have the opportunity to apply for social services according to the principles of the even granting of unemployment benefit I at the responsible employment agency.
Due to the nationwide reporting, more and more expressions of interest from possible investors would be received, as Dr. Gideon Böhm says: “The number of interested parties is increasing every day, Görtz and his team in the branches have a very good reputation in the market. We thank all employees for their tireless efforts. “
