Former Supie staff will be paid for their final two weeks of work thanks to an anonymous donation.
It is set to be paid early next week — but will reportedly not include entitlements such as holiday pay.
Former employees have told 1News they are very excited about the news.
An announcement on the PWC website reads: "We are pleased to announce that an anonymous and substantial cash contribution has been paid into Workerly Limited.
"This cash contribution was provided on the basis that the full amount is used to pay the employees of the Supie Group of Companies.
"The Administrators expect to be able to pay a substantial portion of all outstanding gross wages and salaries for all staff.
"Outstanding holiday pay and other claims against Workerly may remain unpaid at this stage. The Administrators expect to make the distribution towards outstanding wages and salaries early next week."
1News understands former employees received a communication earlier today outlining the situation in more detail.
Workers were reportedly told the contribution was provided on the basis the full amount of it will be used to pay the former employees.
This means administrator fees or other costs will not be deducted.
Earlier today, a former employee spoke out about the handling of the situation, calling it "heartless and gutless" — but also told 1News the "outpouring of love from the community" has kept him and his former colleagues going.
Online grocer Supie was placed into voluntary administration on Monday citing "cash flow difficulties" after a key investor pulled funding.
