Please look up Majeure clause and you see company or cooperation can't be help liable for contractual agreement in time of natural disasters like this. I am not making excuses for them but just pointing it out to you. ooohoo: |

afecgivers: So far you do that based on the contractual agreement you have with your employees, you are good to go, else, they are free to drag you to any point they want to drag you, legally. Even if you want to lay off employees and do not have enough to pay, you engage them, not act like a demi god. He worked for that money and a sensible management would have engaged him and others like him, even if they do not have enough to clear the bills, not lie! 1 Like |

Ffolksy: Very sorry bro, man up and move on, workers rights are rarely protected in Nigeria and employers get away with a lot of bull shit. I have seen a situation where someone resigned to joined a new co and the new co rescinded his appointment shortly before he resumed stating that they changed their mind. You should just do them an email nicely asking that they should consider respecting the terms of your engagement. However if this fails, you can still push on to more assertive ways (e.g the NIC or report to NLC if unionised) but being that the salary in salary in dispute is just (240,000+, no insult intended), it may not be worth the stress, cost and possible career damage. My advice to you, do just the email. Some industries are quite are smaller or well informed ,once you have serious issues with your last employer, other ones will run from you, then you may need to leave the industry entirely or take a bad offer. Also, your major concern also is explaining losing 2 jobs in the space of 2 months to your next employer. Many employers are wary of non-loyal employees and will suspect it points to a character flaw in the applicant. 1 Like |

xandy84: I understand this bro, but a sensible organisation would have been straightforward with him and others like him. Going by his post, he, like many others, was lied to. And of course he has a contract, which must be respected. |

@OP, God is testing your faith. First of all, praise and give glory to God for giving you good health. Now, pray to God to deliver you from this trouble. For the mean time, based on your analysis you should be mobile you may wish to join the cab hailing riders (I don’t want to advertise) for you to be able to break even in your expenses. Or you may wish to do any other profitable business you have ideas about. I pray to God to answer your prayers and set your career back on track - amen �. Stay calm and be safe too. 1 Like |

xandy84: Thank you for bringing this up, I'd look that up. But that aside, since the op has nothing to lose, he may go with a legal letter, it would have been great if op has a lawyer friend who can help with this kinda letter FOC, at least to try something; a non-threatening stance to "pacify/rock" the employer. |

This guy take look at yourself in a mirror and say to yourself relax It Shall be well ijn ..your sack letter could be a blessing in disguise for you, just be courageous and look inward. Try and draft out next plan i beleive your plan B of having your own business is next, look out for what people will need and how you can solve their problems. FOOD, HOUSEHOLD THINGS,SERVICIES THAT ARE CLOSE TO NECESSITIES AND BASIC DAILY MAN'S NEED. let your business solve people's problem. Go study biography of great successful business men. Get your self a business plan and what is left is financing. look inward family members, friends and uncle's that could help you with loans or any aunty that has a house you could use for collaterial and approach any of the banks. It's time for you too to become employer of labour. It's a though one but when you get a breakthrough you will be celebrated. Everything works together for GOOD MAN. I pray God made it clearer to you and you succeed in jesus name. Go and prosper and thank me later. 1 Like |

You are entitled to one full month salary, but laying you off is legal since you are still on probation. just wait first and let them give you letter of termination, then you can ask your lawyer to write the company. i'm sue they will not want to go to court. Apart fro, this, I'm not aware of any other thing you can do. |

The lockdown is what is called Force Majeure i.e. Act of God. As an HR Consultant I have been advising my clients to be including that paragraph in their Letter of Offer of Provisional Employment henceforth. Thank you. |

frugal: Well, I think about that, but we are not labourers. At least someone worked for you and the company to reach 30m. How can you seize the salary immediately the income seized. Some worked for 10yrs some 15 yrs and immediately income seized, salary seized, thats not fair. I will understand or all staffs will understand if company was downsizing, thats understandable. Not when company is making stable profit and suddenly catastrophe hit, you seize salary. Lets assume the lockdown did not happen, your company that had 30m might have 50m after one month, would you now say you cant spare 5m for them if the lockdown eventually happened later? 1 Like |

Ffolksy: Bro talk to a lawyer. If he feels you were unjustly dismissed, then ask him to prepare papers for the company. Don't offer to pay him. Offer to share the proceeds 50:50. Request for damages. I can feel it in my bones that you have millions (at least 2m) in damages waiting for you. But talk to a lawyer first. |

You know how Nigerian companies are. That is when they will claim "company policy states". So they have the upper hand in that they can even quickly draft a quick policy to defend themselves. So just leave them to God and work on getting another job.. |
