As crazy as it might sound, its a reality dat most companies in Nigeria owe their employees a backlog of salaries. They come up with various cock and bull stories on why they can't pay salaries for a particular month. Some even set up and sack their workers just to deny them their pay. Some will just tell u dat there's no money to pay u while others will just keep quiet as if they forgot. Most people are experiencing this issue but won't open up. We know how the legal system works in dis country, it favors the person with the bigger amount of money. If you decide to go thru police, I doubt if u will succeed becos Nigerian police... So in a situation where ur employer refuses or fails to pay, how do u go abt it? Do u just walk away and leave ur entitlement? Any body with such experiences shud also share how he or she reacted or resolved this problem. 1 Like |

MarvellousGod: Talk is cheap abi? Try MTN when network is fluctuating. On a serious note though, you must find a way of not being owed by your company. I collect all my upfront payments including housing, leave, etc. If am owed for month's salary, I will still be better off net-net. If you sue your employer, it is a terrible reference in your next employment. But if I am not going to reference my last employer, believe me, I will beat d living daylight out of my boss and quit. If you doubt me, let's start with u .LOL 1 Like |

Well, it is a hard and frustrating situation! Notwithstanding, commit it into God's hands. Prov. 21:1 says the king's heart is in the hand of God... Note also that the battle is not yours but God's. God bless all. Hpy new year. 2 Likes |
