The worker, who did not wish to disclose their name, claimed this was the second time they had been paid late..

The store opened in March last year.

The PT called last week and asked to speak to the store manager.

When told we were speaking to the manager, we asked if the claims were true. She said: “I’m not going to tell you yes or no. I’m not going to tell you anything.”

The person declined to give her name.

The PT then contacted Subway head office about the claims.

A Subway spokesperson said: “We are investigating allegations around the payment of staff wages at the Whittlesey store and working with the franchise owner to ensure all outstanding employee payments are paid.
