A Chapter 11 reorganization plan has been approved for Fort Lauderdale-based Patriot National, but it doesn’t include severance pay for 250 employees of the insurance services firm who found themselves terminated on the day before last Thanksgiving.
“We haven’t seen a nickel from Patriot,” said Judy Pidgeon, one of the 250 laid-off workers. The layoffs affected workers at the company’s Fort Lauderdale headquarters and in at least six other divisions across the United States.
