For the second consecutive year, employees of the Mumbai based M/s Gol Offshore Limited, have had a dark Diwali as they have not been paid their salary. The fate of the staff working at the company's registered head office in Energy House, near CST, is also at stake, and most of them have been with it for over two to three decades. The last payment to them was made in early July 2017 and that was towards the wages of October 2016. Salaries are pending and the company has no intention of paying the same, said an insider. Another source said, "Over 30 staff members, having served their stipulated notice period, are desirous of resigning. But they have not been given the necessary release letter and service certificates. All staff members are threatened by the top management to continue serving without payment and they do so due to fear of losing their gratuity and provident fund."
