This is a very interesting topic. As someone within the healthcare, I worked in Nigeria before taking my career to the UK, there are challenges why hourly pay may not work in Nigeria. At work in Nigeria, there is usually a downtime in which people stay in the office practically doing nothing and overstaying breaks. Over here you’re always busy from resumption till the closing time and break times are clearly defined and adhered to. Electronic clock in helps to prevent truancy, in Nigerian offices people often leave work with frivolous excuses like… I want to deposit or withdraw from the bank, and may waste hours there… so hourly payment in this situation is unjustified. Also, organisations abroad run in chains like multiple outlets thereby to a reasonable extent guarantee sales and cash flow which is not the same in Nigeria as salaries are derived from sales at the end of the month. Poor economy in the country is affecting businesses as many are at loss jobs or struggling to survive. Unstable economy will warrant employers to be changing the hourly rates frequently. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Hourly renumeration would make the uselessness of most salary jobs obvious especially in the private sector. On the flip side, people will get paid strictly for value. Someone earning 100k and works 8am - 4pm on Monday to Fridays is on 625 naira per hour. Most People endure poor paying jobs coz of the side benefits. Some of those include; sticking in comfort zone, fear of the unknown, fhucking co-workers, bribe and tips (civil service especially), clout, flexibility and fit into personal life and "jelosimi"... 1 Like |

pocohantas:Hourly pay would be much better cos it would be easier to negotiate for a much better pay. But considering how corrupt Nigeria is... only a few people want to be in possession of the money. Take for instance a fresh university graduate who is paid #65,000 per month and works 9 hours a day, 5 days a week and 4 weeks a month is only receiving about #361.2 per hour. #361.2 multiplied by 5 working days would be about #16,254 for a weekly pay. I trust that if it’s being stated this way and paid a cumulation of it biweekly or even weekly in pay checks (like you suggested in your second post) as the case may be, Labour Unions would have fought for a upward review on salaries a long time ago, like making minimum wage #1,000 per hour. But like I stated earlier, corruption wouldn't allow employers and the government reason this way. 1 Like |

They won't because the nigerian labor force is meant to be enslaved with low pay. Most people work 12 hours straight 7am - 7pm. That 2 jobs for one pay. When I was in the bank, one of our useless boss will fix morning meeting by 6 am. Some days vault will not balance till 9pm. If we were paid according yo hours believe me banks would be shutting to customers by 3. 2 Likes |

Hourly pay will be worst! They will only demand your service when required and you might end up not making 20hrs weekly! It sounds interesting, but I know Nigerian employers will capitalize on the loophole if effected. Monthly salary is the best for a country like Nigeria 1 Like |

JohnBullMySon: Even if hourly pay is not stated explicitly, they have a mental calculation of what their time is worth and they use that to arrive at the total pay. If you go below their expectations based on their skills and expertise, then you would know that they can very well divide that pay into hours and tell you it is not worth their time. That is why even in Nigeria, it is mostly multinationals that pay well. They know time is money and do not pay with the Naira as its base figure. CrazyMan: You are wise!!! I had a boss that kept threatening me way back. He would tell me to divide my salary by 21 working days and ask myself if I deserve it. Lol. That was a good question. But thinking of it now, if I divide that salary by 10hrs, it was nothing. Yet we thought we were enjoying. ![]() 2 Likes |

The person who posted this does not understand the meaning of pay per hour. Those who are engaged in this working arrangement are mostly students and the like. It is not tenured or permanent. Pay checks may come in every fortnight. The ''employee'' may be sacked at any time without notice. In Nigeria, we have pay by day/day pay. Hourly pay is not a job; it is merely transitory for job seekers, the unemployable and unemployed. Fits the schedule of Church's, Kentucky, Burger King, McDonald, Car wash, schools, but never any traditional public service that craves for tenure. Works fine in the US of A. 2 Likes |
