Good morning Nairalander, please I am in a Dilemma and need all the help I can get in other not to make a costly mistake. Straight to my story.
On the 27th of November, my employer disengaged (sacked) me and a few of my colleagues with some bogus accusation of under productivity and insubordination. We were asked to turn in every company property in our care which we duly handed over before leaving.In our dismissal later, it was clearly stated that 'our terminal benefits will be paid along with our salary for the month of November'.
Prior to our dismissal, the sum of 5000 was always deducted from our salary every month as caution fee which is supposed to be paid when one leaves the company, but with experience from people that have left, it is always a tug of war as the company doesn't honor that.
Now, we got information that the company paid her Workers November salary yesterday but we that were dismissed didn't get paid. Individually we called the accountant who from the discussion we had made it point clear that there was no provision for us in the payment voucher and every attempt the reach the management has proved abortive as they have kept posting and at a point not taking our calls.
I decided to bring this here in other to get the best solution to this problem and also to know the various agencies to get involved.Apart from the call which i made to the accountant and the center manager, i have not taken another step as i don't want to make a mistake in dealing with them. I have seen problems of this type get solved here and i believe that mine and that of my colleagues will be solved. Thanks as I wait for HELP.
Please Kindly help me tag people with experience in dealing with this kind of issue.

Kindly help me get this to a larger audience 1. Read the company policy regarding disengagement and terminal benefits 2. You stated that in the letter they stated that you will be paid then you should find out what payment you are entitled to, ie. leave days, notice period, Gratuity etc 3. Wrote a letter to the company and ensure you have proof of delivery. 3. If you do not get a response then you should approach the National Industrial Court in Ikoyi for redress.

When sacked, you don't qualify for entitlement most times. That's why good companies advise staff to resign.
All the best though. There is a difference between termination and dismissal. OP a lawyer is needed to help interpreted if this is termination. I believe in a termination you are entitled to your benefits |

Hang on bro. I know u feel down at the moment but a sack can do either of two things, make u or break u. Ive been sacked before and i know exactly how it feels but i ended up getting something better.
Regarding your pay and benefits, i think its still too early to accuse the company of reneging. Severance packages usually take some time before they get paid. U may wanna hang on a lil bit more and keep following up with ur finance team atleast for a month or two.
Also, there is a difference between resignation and sack. In the case of an outright sack or dismissal, you usually loose all benefits. However in the case of the 5k monthly deduction, i would expect that to be paid regardless of the mode of the dismissal since thats your money.
Dont dwell upon it too much and move on as fast as u can 3 Likes |

It is tricky on the ground of under productivity and insurbodination if there is any proof.
I will advise you guys to be patient till you hear from an authorized source of the company before you take any step.
The 5000 caution might be there in case you leave and might not include the provision if you are outrightly disengaged by the company.
Try get a lawyer to explain the content of your terms of engagement, policy you signed and disengagement letter.
You can send me a PM so I can get my lawyer to interprete the terms for you or any lawyer on Nairaland can help out.
Accept my sincere empathy on the disengagement. It is not good for this period. You sound like legal rep...  |
