Network Rail to pay Carillion workers for next three months

Network Rail has agreed to guarantee wages for Carillion Construction employees working on rail projects through to at least mid-April.

The Official Receiver’s special managers PwC and Network Rail have come to an agreement which ensures that PwC can pay employees’ wages for work done on transport projects until after Easter.

Rail employees will also be paid as normal for work done in January.

Funding has also been secured to ensure that any suppliers to Carillion will be paid by PwC in respect of work relating to Network Rail projects from Monday onwards.

A statement added: “Network Rail and PwC are also working closely together to evaluate the cost of work done on Network Rail contracts in the period up to liquidation with a view to provide clarity to suppliers as quickly as possible.”
