What's the payment like?

GEJTILL2019:
I submitted my CV with HND qualifications for a Federal Job, during the interviews, they said i will be employed with my diploma as a Technical Officer. But when i received my APL, I saw assistant Technical Officer on Conhess 5step 1.

Please what should i do ? I am confused now

Complain. It's an error from them. More so it's in Nigeria people with higher qualifications get employed to jobs that they ll be told to bring their lower qualifications.
It happens mostly at banks, Lebanese/Indian companies and some govt works

Tell us how you applied and got the job first....

HenryWilliams:


Your statement is self explanatory.
They hired you based on your qualification as Diploma..
HND would probably have put u in GL8.
Best thing is to accept the appointment, get confirmation after two years and then write for advancement..
Better still further your education past HND and get advanced to higher GL.
Or reject the offer and seek employment elsewhere

You have provided all of the options available and your advice is topnotch.

Okealaaye:
Even at Grade Level 16 you'll find no joy in any kind of Appointment in today's Nigeria. Yes, the pay may look good but there's certainly not going to be Job Satisfaction. Learn a trade, infuse your Initiative into it and watch your great rising even at Midday.

What kind of trade do you recommend?

BlackyOne:
I can't remember any or past FG CS recruiting other than the recent immigration recruitment, and as far as I know they're yet to employ, now I wonder how you got your employment?

Hmm, you make me laugh 😂😂, haven't you heard about slot before? My friend went for NRC, NIGERIA RAILWAY CORPORATION interview last week under senator slot, this week now he just got an appointment letter, brother mi, Federal government job it's just like a secret cult

Why are people complaining about government jobs? Level 16 no be here, I have seen many people after retirement becoming wretched, despite having money before

I'll honestly never understand how people really make a living out of 9 to 5 jobs..

Like, how do you people survive with an income source that keeps you waiting for approximately 25 days before you lay hands on money? Between God and man, I go just die!

Tried it just once while I was in the university. Worked on a contract basis with NTA, and it wasn't even a full day job. 4 days in a week, at least 5hours in any of those days, yet it still felt very awkward, even when I paired it with business..!

Una dey try o! Nigerians are really strong people. Cause this life wey I come so, I have to be touching money "everyday". Even if it's just 3K I'm earning daily, e no matter. Salary jobs are just a complete NO for me!

Follow your passion only! Miss Nigeria 1979 was Helen Prest. She's a law student at University of Ife. After graduation from the law school, she went ahead to learn Fashion Designing. She founded "Metamorphosis" which was a great name in the Nigerian fashion world way back then. She never practise law for a day! Yet, I've seen folks who would give anything to become a lawyer! Education is meant ONLY to help give expression to the conceptions of Mind - it isn't a means to possessing Meal Ticket, per se? How come certain folks without adequate education are making it in Industry and other endeavours - ever thought of that?

Gistcore00:
For Diploma is level 6 step 01. That's senior Technical Officer. You need to complain, it might be an error from them

he can not be employed with level 6 grade. He will be employed on level grade 5 as an assistant technical officer. When he works and get promoted then he can be on salary scale of grade level 7. As senior technical officer.

Gift96:
What they did is, you were employed with Diploma obviously because there are more people more qualified with HND&Back.

Enter first ... Then use the same link through which you get the job to pull your promotion and or correction of your grade...

Sometimes when I hear or see people getting federal jobs, it sounds like you are extremely Lucky.
Good luck bruh

Hmmmmm. Not taking anything away from Fed.job oh but I can tell you that the best place to work is the private sector. You will learn more. You climb up the leader faster. You will be able to achieve much within few years. Your results, hardwork will be recognised.

This is how it is usually done. Accept the job and write officially through the hod of your department and ask for right placement.

Jonegonu:
The grade level five (5) is the normal level an HND holder can be employed for in any institution In Nigeria. And you most start as an assistant officer position or a junior technician over time you will be promoted to the position of senior technician. And that will on level (7) and you will retire with that level. But if you up grade yourself by obtaining a BSC certificate while still working you can be up graded to level grade eight ( and so on. That is how it works. No institution will employ you as a senior technician as a fresh graduate. Unless you have worked before and have some experience.then you can be considered to be employed with grade level (6). As technical officer,

I wonder how grown ups will just sit down and type rubbish. If they look you well you go be igbo o. Na so dem dey do

HND is grade level 7 step 1
BSc is grade level 8 step 1

Wisdom. Very correct.

Conhess 5 step 1 is the same as grade level 6 step 1

In a federal establishment using consolidated salary structure like Conhess, contediss etc, HND,BSc is level 07 which is GL 08 while OND is level 05 (GL 06)

This is how the career progression is using CONHESS for instance:

Conhess 1 - GL 2
Conhess 2 - GL 3
Conhess 3 - GL 4
Conhess 4 - GL 5
Conhess 5 - GL 6
Conhess 6 - GL 7
Conhess 7 - GL 8
Conhess 8 - GL 9
Conhess 9 - GL 10
Conhess 11 - GL 12
Conhess 12 - GL 13
Conhess 13 - GL 14
Conhess 14 - GL 15
Conhess 15 - GL 16
Conhess 15 - GL 17

In your case, there are several reasons they must given u ATO instead of TO that u applied for:

1. They need you but you didn't do well in the interview but they still want to absorb you.

2. There was no approval to recruit TO so they helped with ATO

3. Your cgpa for HND is too low to be given TO

4. Someone that knows someone has taken the slot of TO. etc.

In all, na grace you see o...my advice, start BSc immediately and get converted to professional cadre later cos with OND/HND, You terminal level is Chief Technical Officer on Conhess 13/ GL 14 but with BSc, you'll get to the post of Director of Conhess 15/GL 17 depending on your age though

integrity16:
All HND appointment starts with GL07 and under CONHESS salary structure, CONHESS 6 is grade level 07, CONHESS 07 IS GRADE LEVEL 8 and so on and so forth.

Are you saying is Ssce they used for his grade?

Manigie:
With an ND, that's your correct grade level... Conhess is used for health workers.
So while ND holders start on Grade 6 in other places, in the health system where Conhess is used, they start on Conhess 5. While Graduates in other places start on GL8, in health system it is Conhess 7.

You are right.

Does it mean that when you received your salary, you will lavished it at once? Even in business, if you spend anyhow because you are seeing the money daily, the business will failed within a space of time. In fact you need more discipline in personal business than salary earners in terms of spending for the business to grow, if not you will bankrupt.

Reject it if you sure it is not what you applied for.
Besides, do you understood the grade level of the job before applying for it? Or it is when you have accepted and signed the probation letter then you began to understand the system while in the job?

Very true!

But my brother, I cannot put my time and freewill in the hands of someone else. I want to be in a position where I determine my working hours. God knows I love mental freedom. Back when Ibok-ette Ibas was the Chief of Naval Staff, I had the express access to be a Naval personnel through the Direct Short Service Course, but I bluntly turned it down. I wasn't even required to go through the rigorous process. All that was needed was for me to submit the credentials. I just didn't see myself being constrained, restricted and limited, or having other people determine what I do with myself and my time.

The money aspect is only the second grounds on which I can't see myself being anybody's employee. Not even the Government.

Mandate2023:


U don't know what u r saying....HND is level 7 and Bsc is 8

HND is level 8 if you are employed by Federal Govt under civil service commission. What year did you get the job?

Gistcore00:
For Diploma is level 6 step 01. That's senior Technical Officer. You need to complain, it might be an error from them

ehn conhess 5 is equivalent to level 6 nah.conhess is the salary structure for health ministry and agencies.

Godwinmy:
Is it Nigeria Port Authority job or NIMASA?

you dey whine?

The facts remains that not everybody can do business and personal business takes more discipline and commitment to build. If you are lazy and treat things with levity, business is not for you. Those that see business as a freedom to control their time doesn't go far in business, especially when you are building the business. You only have the leisure when the business has been established fully and you have capable hands overseeing it.

Manigie:

So while ND holders start on Grade 6 in other places, in the health system where Conhess is used, they start on Conhess 5. While Graduates in other places start on GL8, in health system it is Conhess 7.

Thank you for this explanation to the OP. It is an answer I was seeking.

I had earlier posted on a thread asking for a degree holder (BSc) in the Federal Civil Service if CONTISS II 07 step 02 is equivalent to GL08?

I didn't get answers so I did some findings online and they all seem to point to the explanation that you have given to the OP.

I would still appreciate it if you can confirm my thoughts about CONTISS II 07 step 02 being equivalent to GL08.
Thank you very much.

Oshin56:
HND/BSC are the same. 8/2

not all federal agency

Op I was in a situation like this about 4 years ago. No cause for alarm, just wait and apply for proper placement after 6 months of your employment. Good luck!!!
