Rebellion accused of layoff pay dodging

UK developer Rebellion faces accusations of denying several staff their wages and redundancy pay.

Numerous sources have told Develop that the remaining Rebellion Derby staff – some of which had worked at the group for nearly two decades – were made to clear their desks and go home on garden leave.

The sources add that the Derby staff, after complying and leaving the studio, discovered they had not been paid wages for April.

Those remaining staff fear their redundancy packages will not be paid either, with allegations that Rebellion Derby is being positioned for liquidation.

A spokesperson for Rebellion declined to comment.
