Jonker Plant Hire Pty. Ltd. A.C.N. 089 112 596 (Administrators Appointed) (‘the Company’) Frequently Asked Questions Employees What has happened? On Monday 14 July 2014, Andrew Fielding and Gerald Collins of BDO Business Recovery & Insolvency (Qld) Pty Ltd were appointed Joint & Several Administrators of Jonker Plant Hire Pty Ltd. The Administrators are winding down operations of the Company and will arrange a sale of the Company’s assets in due course. The appointment does not include or affect any other related companies of the Jonker Group. For queries relating to any other company in the group please contact the relevant company directly. What does this mean for employees? The Company is no longer in a position to continue employing staff and the majority of employees have had their employment with the Company terminated effective 14 July 2014. The Administrators will continue to employ a small number of employees to assist with the winding up of the Company. What happens to my unpaid wages and employee entitlements? We understand that wages have been paid up to Friday, 4 June 2014 and superannuation has been paid up to 30 June 2014. In the event that the Company is placed into Liquidation at the Second Meeting of Creditors, employees will be able to claim outstanding employee entitlements through the Australian’s Government Fair Entitlements Guarantee (‘FEG’). FEG provides eligible employees with payment for outstanding employee entitlements including, unpaid wages, outstanding annual leave, long service leave, pay in lieu of notice and redundancy to a maximum limit in accordance with the scheme. FEG does not provide funds for outstanding superannuation. Further information about FEG, what it covers and your eligibility to claim can be found at http://employment.gov.au/fair-entitlements-guarantee-feg. Pursuant to Section 556 of the Corporations Act 2001, employee entitlements, including Superannuation, receive a priority over unsecured debts of the Company. 1 I am in possession of Company property and my employment has been terminated.
