I'll echo pidgin's advice. If you sign a legal contract of employment with the company, you have every cause to file a case against them in an employment tribunal. They have no right whatsoever to owe you salary for services rendered, to start with. 1 Like |

pDude: Chief are you a legal practitioner? If not , then i'll advice you to READ my concluding part well. It doesn't have to be a FIGHT-FIGHT issue. I'm asking for advice on what steps should be taken so as not to make mistakes. And i believe people in the legal practice will understand better. Every sensible person will know that i can't just post names on this public forum without proper reasoning. Thanks anyway |

pDude: I think your contribution is harsh, to a fellow who is in excruciating pains of sudden retrenchment. It is not a situation anybody wishes for. All we owe this fellow, is how to assist him with either our knowledge or influence to get justice, if needed. However, we really do not need the company's name or persons involved. We only need the full details and a true picture of the situation that subjected him to this plight. 2 Likes 1 Share |

It's too early to start shouting over 1 month's payment. This is 9ja and employers owe money all the time. It would be very hard for you to mount any legal challenge against them as other companies had set a precedence for cases such as this. They say payback is a b*tch, I would advise you to compile a list of all your clients and sabotage their business. Seriously you have the experience and home field advantage on your side, all you have to do is find a similar job with a competitor, poach all the clients to the new job and smile! |

montees: Thanks for your input. I was actually employed as a Senior staff, i have my Appointment letter and i was made to undertake a Handing-over process where my ID card was collected and my immediate superiors( who are also part of the scheme now) counter-signed and ascertained that i'm not owing the company of it's partners any dime. Funny thing is - They didn't give me a Termination letter, they just invited me to the Head office, Told me verbally and told me that i will be communicated on when to come for my Termination letter and they also made verbal promises of paying the salary of the last month in which i worked. So what other evidence is needed? |

handie: You have raised very salient points that are worth reflecting upon. While I share your disappointment with the painful realities in the country, I will encourage you not to lose hope on our beautiful country. More so, I want you to realize that there are laws guiding the operations of all companies in Nigeria. Companies like MTN, DSTV, SHOPRITE are just like GLO, HITV and TANTALIZER, and they are also regulated equally. I agree with you that we are being exploited, and heavily so, but you also need to understand the challenges faced by these companies. That is WHY our indigenous companies like HITV, ECONET couldn't compete favourably. They could have provided the needed competition and consumers alternative in the event of perceived exploitation or outright dissatisfaction. The issue of arbitrary charges by DSTV was brought before the court on baseless terms. DSTV has the prerogative and protection of the law to review their charges at any time, just like any other company. I can't remember any suit brought before the court on the arbitrary charges and or the erratic price reviews by our transport companies, private schools and even the CBN. The consumers can only ask for consideration. Most importantly, majority of us believe that seeking redress in court is a waste of time, and that is why most people are being unjustly exploited by both fellow Nigerians and foreigners. 3 Likes |

maldonaldo: Hello Bro. I faced the same thing sometime ago. I asked for my money but they started acting funny. I went to a lawyer who wrote the company and they wrote back in a very intimidating and hope-smashing manner through their very tough looking rich lawyers. I was scared I had nothing to hold the company to since I had never experienced such a thing before but my lawyer kept laughing @ their reply and the music changed when I sued for 2 million naira in damages and defamation of character and bla bla bla. We went to court and they saw I was not joking so They started begging and calling for truce and out of court settlement. I got 800,000 in settlement when all I was asking for was for them to settle me make I waka. please get your appointment letter, payslips, salary account statement and a lawyer. DO NOT listen to anyone who tells you not to pursue this case except if you don't want to do it. I got a lot of discouraging talks from everyone, even my parents and brothers..... telling me to LEAVE IT FOR GOD, GOD WILL JUDGE THEM, blablabla. I am glad that I didn't listen to any of them. nothing was more satisfying than seeing the looks on their sorry cheating faces as they were begging. 4 Likes |

you can sue but except you have another claim other than wrongful termination of employment, the best you would get is probably your July salary and maybe another months salary depending on you contract of employment and maybe interest at the commercial rate calculated till the money is paid.. the law will not force an employee on an unwilling employer. you wont get much if anything by way of damages or a claim for legal fees. Candidly when you consider the cost of getting a good lawyer....you are better of cutting your losses and moving on |

maldonaldo: God bless you too brother. Amen to all that. There are lots of Lawyers looking for this type case because they will get their percentage from the court settlement. Go get a lawyer and let him tell you if you have enough ground for a case. if he says NO then u ask another lawyer. No let anyone use you play for money matter. when I wanted to sue my former company, nobody encouraged me. but I stubborn and I was not ready to go out without a fight. They brought the best lawyers who wear expensive suits and drive big cars but my own lawyer no even know wetin be Gucci. all that matters was that all my facts was right and the law was in my favour. such cases don't even take time. you can start looking for another job while you sue the chinko company. as for me, that was the last company I ever worked for. dem dey crayse for head.
