Bermuda Health Council has said it will investigate allegations of unpaid employee health insurance at Sandys 360 if former staff of the defunct sports facility get in touch.

The Royal Gazette yesterday reported claims by a former employee who said staff were paying their own health insurance before the centre went bust in late 2013.

Employers who fail to provide their staff with health insurance are breaking the law and the council announced last year that it would begin naming delinquent employers online.

Asked last month if Sandys 360 was being investigated, acting CEO Tawanna Wedderburn said: “The Bermuda Health Council responds to all health insurance-related queries as per the Health Insurance Act 1970. Please be advised that we are not currently investigating any active complaints about Sandys 360’s health insurance policy. If the employees of Sandys 360 are concerned about their health insurance policy, they may contact us on 292-6420 and healthcouncil@bhec.bm and we will follow-up accordingly.”
