The To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA) must pay more than $4 mil­lion in com­pen­sa­tion to 13 for­mer con­tract work­ers it dis­missed af­ter the 2021 THA elec­tions.

The In­dus­tri­al Court de­liv­ered its fi­nal or­der on Mon­day, giv­ing the THA un­til 30 Sep­tem­ber 2025 to make the pay­ments.

Each work­er will re­ceive com­pen­sa­tion for out­stand­ing va­ca­tion leave, the re­main­der of their con­tracts, and pro-rat­ed gra­tu­ity. Pay­outs range from just over $151,000 to near­ly $400,000, de­pend­ing on salary, po­si­tion and time left on con­tract. The to­tal comes to $4,017,507.61.
