Good day ladies and gentlemen

I was employed as a security guard at a leather factory through a private security company 4months ago but this company never pays me as they said the factory owner did not pay them . But recently I learnt that the factory owner had been paying them.

I went to the office on Friday to confront them about the issue n also told them I will resign. They asked me to wait till today Monday so they'll forward my issue to their head office to get sorted out.

So I went to the office today, they told me I'll only get one month salary today till when they finally sorted it out then they'll pay me the remaining 3months at the same time.

I said, okay no problem. but the thing that pains me so much is that these heartless entities deducted 6k out of 10k salary n left me took home only 4k. They deducted Five thousand naira for uniform which were never given to us n one thousand naira for audio application form fee respectively.

I returned home dejected, despair n feeling defeated with so many things running on my head. It's really paining me right now feeling like to go n burn their office n kill them all or arrange to kidnap them.

Another thing that I discovered is that the factory owner pay my company 20k but they'll pay me 10k. but one thing that always motivated me is that the factory owner usually buys me food n drinks, sometimes even tips me 500 naira. So I feel like I was just saving my salary I'll cash out later whenever they paid me but it end up in tears, anger n gnashing of teeth.

Ladies and gentlemen I want your candid advice on how to go about this issue please. Should I go ahead and sue them to pay me my remaining salary or ask the factory owner to avoid the company n pays me directly since he
likes me?


ok

Why don't you quit and start a small hustle. I mean 10k salary is not just worth it. I'm sure you would make more by maybe doing other things. Look inward and try to pinpoint what you are good at. Even if it is lesson teacher, it's still better than that useless job.

Speak with the owner directly, but don't tell him full reasons except you have not been paid for all the months you worked so far, then quit from the security company, just tell him you will be okay to work for him directly in the company even if na cleaner for the main time, the pay could be higher and promptly paid.

It is not as easy as you have made it sound. The company which employed him could accuse the factory owner of poaching their staff

Folks asking him to talk with the factory boss directly... It's a 50/50 situation.

Since you say you didn't get uniform nor the application form.. You're only working based on gentleman agreement. They can actually sue your boss if he employs you behind their back.

You talk to him, if you've been a good staff... Then tell him you want to terminate your contract with the agency... But that you will still be delighted to work under him.

Suggest it. Don't demand it.

But.. Your fluency in writing eh.. You deserve better o. I just pray you see that in your self too and do what you have to do to be your best self

Reason why I said he can start as a cleaner or any other role and not necessarily the security job, with time he can then let the man know how he was badly treated and short paid so he can employ people directly, but I also know that most people use all these security outfits for the ease it provides them in carrying out background check done by the security companies.

Op i dnt want to wander on how u might have been maltreated or so on how minescule 10 bloody k is, on a normal 10k might not even be much enough to sub for ur internet bills in a month,dnt u pay house rent,dnt u drink water or eat? Jeez. etc. Like i said let me not wander.

seek the face of the owner and explain ur affliction to him,while showing him dat ur ready to be his direct employee.

if u can survive without pay,then leverage on that and quit dat damn slave trade of a security company and look for a better job.. Dats if d owner no gre hire u directly,but dey look for job becoz u no get any,na free work u dey do.

you sound like someone dat ASUU strike is withholdin frm being in a lecture theater,even so guy u have a networth,ur worth more dan 10k a mnt. Nxt tym dnt underprice urself abeg.

justice na for d rich 4 9ja,d company wey u wan sue go just buy d judge and na u go suffa,no do am.

There is a serious problem in our society today especially with our youths.

From this write-up, it is clear you don't feed yourself, don't pay rent nor pay any bills at all, you just want to work and earn money, for what exactly. You could also be between the ages of 17-22years. The best you should be doing for yourself now is learning a skill.

Let me also assume ASUU strike kept you at home, why don't you get a skill. There is no skill that will not pay you a minimum of 1k for any service delivered.

How long will you earn 10k and what will 10k do for you in this economy.

But some people are damn heartless, I will suggest you tell the factory owner about the situation and tell him that you're going to resign from the security company to work directly for him.

You want to sue them for how much exactly, for 40k. Do you know the cost of hiring a lawyer? Can you afford one in your present state...

Apply in the leather factory to work as a labour staff, or any other factory, your pay would be clearly higher than the 10k they pay you.

As for your current employer, they have no plans of paying you, just get another job and forget about them.
