Managing Director of Unicomer Guyana Clyde De Haas yesterday said that there are no current plans to cut the salaries of Courts’ employees during the current scale down of operations as a result of the measures taken in response to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
In an interview with Stabroek News, De Haas said since the business is closed, there is almost no income but all staff will receive their full salary for April.
He mentioned the option of shopping from Courts online and encouraged customers to visit shopcourts.com, where they can gain access to some of the items in store.
He stated that there are clear instructions on the site on how to proceed with shopping and information about available product ranges. He added that the company is currently making arrangements with customers to have them uplift their items at the Courts distribution centre at Eccles, on Tuesdays and Thursdays between the hours of 8 am and 12 pm.
As it relates to monthly payments, he said payments can be made through Republic Bank, Scotia Bank and GTT’s mobile money service.
And for those customers who are temporarily at home due to the COVID-19 measures, he said special systems were put in place where late fees are being waived and no interest added.
De Haas also encouraged all to continue to practice social distancing as part of precautions in response to the pandemic.
