Yes, u have a strong case. Head to an industrial court and file your case. You may not need the services of a lawyer if you can't afford one. This is a serious breach of contract; forget about the letter they are asking for, they gave you a valid appointment letter stating the conditions of engagement.

For the benefit of others reading:

When you get a new offer, resume immediately! Forget the one month in Lieu nonsense. There is provisions in the labor act for monitizing it. You return one month basic salary to them and move on. Maximum of one week notice is ideal if u are in a position where a comprehensive handover is required.

Another option is to get your annual leave and resume At the new place. Mail them towards the end of the leave and then take two days and return to them to formalise the exit.

I prefer a hard copy letter and keep a signed copy. If u must mail, then copy your own private mail.

Don't let those bastards get away with this. Sue their ars.e for the entire offer they gave u multiplied by 35 yrs u would have worked for them, include legal fees, inconvenience fee and 12% interest rate pending on when the case will be concluded. Industrial court don don't take that long.

U said it all, that is what I do, I take leave, resume, check how they operate, and decide if I will stay or not.

YoungRichRuler:
OP, even if you sue the new company and win the case, do you think they will pay you the agreed amount? Hope you have documents of the agreement? Have they issued you an offer letter?

Can you negotiate another salary?
If you win the case and they take you, if after paying you once they fire you? Will you sue them again?

I wish you the best out of this situation

solonubinho:
Hi, I just read your post and its quite unfortunate. I am an expert in Labour matters and you could send me an inMail if you wish to have a proper discussion on how to proceed against the new company.

biacan:
hmmmmmm this is a serious issue but are you in good terms with your previous employer before you left the company.....?
Go to his friends and explain to them beg them to take you to him and promise your employer that you've accepted the cause of your actions and it won't happen again he should give you one last chance GOOD Luck

Good day nairalanders,
I need an advise from any lawyer in the house. I got a new job and was a given a letter of employment by the HR personnel of the company. I told the HR personnel that I have to give one month notice to my current employer then but she insisted on 3weeks. I agreed with the 3 weeks and sent my letter of resignation giving 3 weeks ahead as my last day with my current employer then. After about a week the HR personnel told me that the company cannot pay me the agreed amount, I told her that I have dropped my resignation letter and there is nothing I can do about it at that point in time. Thanks for your responses.

Hmmmm, nice advice. You really tried for the OP.

But please spare him additional frustration plus unplanned hunger. The country in view is our dear Nigeria, and it's not yet organized for such. For a firm or a Union, yes but not for a poor individual.

A new year is fast approaching, advise him to go queue for another job quickly.

lonelydora:


I am in a situation too. How do i handle it? After more than 3 months of my exit from my former employer, i am yet to be paid my entitlements. I resigned because i am going to school abroad which i stated in my letter. They mailed me what i should be expecting but orally told me i will get it within 1 month of my exit because i will be needing it for my tuition. Now, if by 20th January 2018 the school do not confirm the full payment, i will forfeit the 50% payment i already made. How do i handle this? Should i also go to industrial court? I need help asap.

MaziOmenuko:


Contact a lawyer to write to them officially and inform them of the need to pay up immediately. He will remind them the legal implications of not paying up.

That was how my previous place of work was deducting my pension without remitting same to my PFA. I realized it after I had resigned. No need for lawyer, I wrote them myself after I had researched on the pension law and the implication of non remittance. I threatened to report them and within two days, they remitted to my account.

We have good laws in Nigeria to protect both employer and employee, but just like is seen in this thread, many Nigerians prefer to forfeit their rights and be treated anyhow

MaziOmenuko:


You are a bloody joker! You actually think the country is not organised, that's how myopic peeps like you get tossed about for nothing.

Do you even know what the industrial court is? Have you even heard about it before?

Hello Nairaland Fam..I pleased to inform you all that I won the suit case against my former employer today. The court ruled in my favour with respect to a breach of contract. I want to specially thank God and Strichland Associates. They got across to me after reading my story here. Sincerely they did a great job without a cost, I couldn't have engaged the services of a reputable law firm. This victory is for all the young hardworking Nigerians who are been frustrated and intimidated out there by employers. There is hope for a better country where truth and justice will prevail. God bless you all!
