I use to work in a company where salary delay is a norm. It can even go as far as 2 months straight. We were told to be happy that it is only delayed and not that it is not being paid. So you work for about 2 months and you get 1 months pay. Now there are no benefits apart from your basic pay, no pension, no HMO, no accident free bonus for drivers, nothing at all. Of course, tax is deducted from your salary. Also, constant change of employees as the resignation and termination rate are high. That is why their vacancy adverts always floods the internet.
After employees resignation, even after due notice, getting outstanding pay is a nightmare. It can even stretch as far as 4 months and more often than not, it is never paid.
I resigned because l couldn't cope. I rely on that basic salary to meet up and it was becoming very difficult if not impossible to survive.
However after my resignation, l still have outstanding pay. I know the norm. I can only hope for the best.
Knowing the status quo in this company, is it wise to reveal the situation to potential job seekers or ignore and hope change begins with them.
