Site workers for GPL Group (Manchester) Limited were not told the firm had gone into administration and are owed three weeks money.
Angry operatives told the Enquirer they were “left in the dark” as many turned up on site as normal.
They have also been frustrated in their attempts to get a payroll company to cover their cash.
The company is now in the hands of administrators from FRP Advisory LLP who were appointed last Friday.
One site worker said: “I worked for them for nearly two years but had to find out from a mate on site they had gone under.
“Not a text or phone call and I’m owed three weeks money.
“The administrator mentioned the 60 office staff but nothing about us on site.”
Another added: “When word finally got round we tried to talk to head office but nobody would answer.”
A lot of site staff are understood to be paid via a payroll company.
The worker said: “I get deducted £21 a week from my wages to be paid via them and for what?
“I thought they still had to pay you if a client contractor goes bust but it seems not so we are left out of pocket.
“What a way to treat your loyal workers. No wonder it’s a struggle to find people who want to work in construction.”
