Termination could be made between either party with or without notice period as agreed in the contract of employment. Some chunk of money will be paid in lieu. But as some did not realize here, you cannot win employer in the law court on her termination, but you can win if her entitlements are not paid. There must be a reason why she was asked to go and most time, employers do not tell.

My dear lawyers, in my case the employer terminated my employment and promised to pay me but almost 4 years on they have not paid.I mailed the HR manager in 2009, he promised to get back but he did not. What do i do?

@Quart, get a lawyer and sue the company. Thankfully, we now have an improved National Industrial Court which specializes in labour matters and they are seriously looking for cases to undertake.

@Uche, My problem is the legal fee. I need a lawyer who I can afford the fee. Should we win the case I do not mind sharing.I know that I can also file at the NIC but I can't cross examine myself. I also do not know how to fill that file case form on their website cos am not a lawyer. Could you connect to some God fearing lawyers?

I can recommend some of my young lawyer friends to you who now have their own practice. What you can agree on the lawyer after explaining your plight to him is that his fees would be contingent upon your entitlements being paid. You would pay the necessary filing fees and cost of litigation which i believe is not on the high side. Thereafter, once you are paid your entitlements, a certain percentage would go to him as his professional fees.

@Uche, I am very interested. My mail address is dankaralio@yahoo.com. Thanks alot.

@Quart, I have sent you a mail.
