SINGAPORE: Bakery chain Twelve Cupcakes is being investigated for non-payment of salaries and other potential breaches of the Employment Act, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the CPF Board said on Friday (Oct 31).
About 80 workers were affected by the company’s sudden closure, with the business saying it had been placed under provisional liquidation on Wednesday.
Employees told CNA that there was no prior notice from the management, and they only learned of the closure when liquidators arrived at the office.
Staff were owed salaries, and despite being a unionised company, Twelve Cupcakes did not engage the union early, before affected employees were notified.
