Dear Poster, If an offer letter was in place and she signed it; it simply means you have to pay her for what she did. But if she hasnt signed any offer letter; you have every right not to pay or give her attention. You owe her no obligation. 2 Likes |

She worked for you for few days before the complaints started coming. After another one week she resigned. For two weeks now she has been disturbing you to pay her the days she has worked for you (which is one week and few days). From all indications you don't want to pay her because of issues ranging from the complaints leveled against her while under your employment, low patronage during the period she worked, starting work without your prior consent etcetera. Now my advice, It's still 10am, call her right now to come and collect her payment. When she comes, divide the amount you pay to cleaners into two equal parts and pay her one, and wish her success in her future endeavours. God bless you as you put a smile into someone's heart today. |

Actually, there was neither a lawful engagement nor disengagement here. Neither of you did the right thing. No proper engagement procedure and she left without ceremony too. Biko pay her for what she's done...issue resolved. 2 Likes |

Agent by Estoppel - if you see her in your establishment for two weeks acting as an employee and you kept quiet then the law will deem your silence as agreement to the implied employment contract. Pay her salary. 1 Like |

@Poster, the quickest and surest way to kill your business is to deny ur workers their due wages, especially the junior workers who usually come across as the more needy and bitter ones. Despite your faith, Nemesis AKA Karma is no respecter of faces or faith. You are old enough to own a hotel/business so I suppose you know your left from ur right. Stop looking for who will advice you not to pay the chap. Just calculate his/her money for the weeks and simply pay her off since u know fully well that she rendered the services for those periods. Don't start heaping unnecessary curses and night vigils on your young business. 1 Like |

First of all, she never got any invite to start working as a cleaner even though she was interviewed for that post. Secondly, u calling her attention to her not meeting up to the supposed duties is an acknowledgement of her working for you. Thirdly, the Nigerian labor law works based on the salary structure which is the practice in ur hotel and not based on a wage structure. As regards the first and third points whereby no agreement or terms of service was reached or offered to the said party and based on company policy, ipso facto all she went there to do was mere charity work and cannot demand for wages from a company with a salary based structure in place. But u can be empathetic towards her if u choose and pay her based on ur benevolence and not because she has a right to be paid. |

AgamaHub: The most important issue is that she.worked and cleaned your hotel for certain numbers of days. The way you asking for advice and defending your opinion, it's like you've made up your mind not to pay her. Since you saw her working and you didnt stop her till she quit, calculate days she has worked and pay her accordingly. Deuteronomy 24:15 "You shall give him his wages on his day before the sun sets, for he is poor and sets his heart on it; so that he will not cry against you to the LORD and it become sin in you." 1 Like |

@AgamaHub, what actually is the problem here cos I dont see anything meaningful in your post? Is it that you dont have money to pay her, you dont think she deserves the wages she worked for cos she's a cleaner, she committed offence by not getting a go ahead from you, you dont want her to go or you intentionally planned to cheat her of her wages? Pls specify and elucidate on it. 1 Like |

Apina: Even before the law , employment letter is not needed to show one as worked for someone . How many small scale biz give appointment letters these days self? As long as two or more witness can verify that she once worked there for certain number of days ...thats good enough for the judge. I'm also sure they have workers register in the hotel where she must have signed in and out for the days she worked. All those shows the employer consented to her working there...and every worker deserves his wages, no matter how small 1 Like |

toygod2:. There's an implied consent already except they have a deliberate policy stating that they only pay for people that have worked minimum of 1 month. OP Abeg pay her the equivalent of 2 weeks make matter rest |
Re: How Do I Deal With A Staff That Resigns Abruptly? by Nobody: 4:21pm On Oct 21, 2017 |
You saw her working even though you didn't ask her to start and you didn't stop her? You also didn't tell her what her job is required of her hence the complaints from other staff. Now she has resigned, ask her to send in her official resignation letter, then pay her 2 weeks after she hands the letter to you. Be more professional as a manager. Always present offer letters to new recruits letting them know your terms of employment. Amongst other things, let them know they have to put in a month's notice of resignation b4 they can be paid fully for the time they worked. Word of advice; If your internal organisation structure/ channel of communication is wack, trust me, you won't go very far with that business. 1 Like |
