166 employees will be made redundant by Sofitel Fiji Resort and Spa from early next month due to no tourist arrivals as a result of COVID-19.

This has been confirmed by Director of Human Resources Mereoni Gusuivalu who says that the resort is closed at the moment and there is no clear indication when they will open up again.

Gusuivalu says they have had one on one discussions with their staff who are being made redundant and have informed them about it.

She says the staff will be given a redundancy package which is a weeks pay for each year of service.

Gusuivalu says the 166 staff were being paid for the past 12 weeks despite the resort being closed.

She says the staff have been told they can apply once again when the resort opens up.
