Romanoff:
Depends.

Some organization require two weeks, some a month, some three months.

Ours is 3 months
I enquired from a colleague that resigned few months ago
He gave the firm 2 weeks and was paid later
I followed suite without consulting the letter of appointment

Though I spoke with HR, she said 2 weeks is ok ,that I will be paid

Make I dey look

rickleye:
It all depends on risk factor.
You quit - some companies will escort you out with security and send you your last pay by mail.
Usually 2 weeks - the norm.
Extreme - you wait till they find a replacement but this is usually discussed in detail.

I gave them 2 weeks notice, let me know how it goes

Techmac00:
I wasn't given an offer letter, I resigned a day to the last day of the month.

Till date, they refused to pay me. But we mooooooove.

Very painful, did you make any move about that ?

ImoleNaija:
Two weeks

Exactly what I used which I take to be norm, consulting my appointment letter, it is 3 months, had I know I would have collected my salary and serve them breakfast

I pray they pay as the HR assured me

xtivin:
Your salary for this month will be used as a lieu of notice since the period you made it official was too short but to avoid issues refer to your appointment letter. Congratulations

My appointment letter makes me cry, 3 months is stated

GloriousGbola:
all depends on how structured the company is.
it is however professional to leave on a good note
especially as your new employer may write your old one asking for references etal

Exactly the reason why I had to give notice, and this my current employer publishes pictures and disclaimer notice if you leave abruptly especially with the staff ID

My new employer is a multinational company with its HQ at US
So I want to be clean

dosage150:
Honestly, I made a very big mistake, I was carried away, my colleague that resigned few months ago

I contacted him, he told me he gave 2 weeks notice and was still paid
I did same without waiting to give them jungle justice

I spoke with the HR this morning, she told me that I will be paid

When you see your organisation. If it's one that doesn't value staff, has history of laying staff off or sacking anyhow, just give them the sudden resignation treatment. Cos your last salary may not be paid.

socialmediaman:
Ask HR directly for the company's policy regarding your situation. Don't depend on only hearsay from your colleagues unless they're well informed about the situation, but still, confirm from HR, don't wait and hope to find out

I did
The HR assured me of my payment
I no too trust her till I receive the money

I will still create another topic for that and how everything went as a lesson to others

dosage150:

Chai... Discuss with the HR I suggest

Next time, you check the environment before you resign. So employers are nice while majority ain't

dfrost:
Depends on a lot of factors.

1. Terms of Contract
2. Frustrating bosses
3. Good offer

Terms of the contract -3 months
Fraustrating boss- Toxic environment to work on
Good offer- yes

Emman08:
Check your contract or appointment letter

Omo na 3 months

mespusinglez:
LINK ME UP WITH YOUR PREVIOUS COMPANY NA...LET ME BE YOUR REPLACEMENT THERE.

send a mail

Cjayboy:
2weeks to 1month notice is cool or you pay cash in lieu.

HR don't need to approve your resignation once you have
done the needful.

Ensure you have your resignation copies and date the HR received it.

This is very helpful, I will meet the Admin officer tomorrow for clearance form

ejimatic:
3months it depends on the place It could 2 in some places. The mistake you made is that you should have waited till 15 for your salary . Following day yiu submit your resgnatiion lletter. You may have to fotgo the 15 days you have spent in the new month.

I bleeped up big time, I have been sad over this , I enquired from my former colleague that resigned few months ago, he told his was 2 weeks notice , and was paid , I rush go submit mine with two weeks notice as well, this morning my mind know say I get signed agreement, speaking with the HR this morning, she assured me for sept salary

Akalia:
Just continue to add value to yourself, that way your prospects for job placement increases. People who do find it difficult landing jobs most often than not are those without experience (freshers) in the field. Once you continue to grow in experience, you can easily switch jobs without lingering delay.

You said it all, Employers just need experienced people, once you start, you don start

motta:
they will pay you your complete salary but there won't be any benefits whatsoever attach to the salary .

They should just pay me,

Benefit?
Abeg I dash them with all my heart

OvertheTop:


what about the other benefits like:
leave Allowance, unused leave, terminal benefits, Gratuity(if long worked term)

will he forfeit that too?

I have not really worked with them for long, i am willing to forfeit the benefits as the other job is times 3 the current one

motta:
exactly what he should have done

I bleeped up man

athorello:
Unless you just wanna forfiet your pay, forget whatever notice period written on your employment letter. I have given a day, 2 weeks and a month notice before. I won't give any employer more than 30 days notice unless the job I'm transitioning to gives me up to 3 months to resume. Some do depending on the role you're entering.

In Nigeria, notice period is one day if you're under probation or worked for a period of three months or less; one week for more than three months but less than two years of service; two weeks for two to five years [/b]of service and [b]one month for five or more years.

However, you might lose some employment benefits if you don't give the required notice in your contract. You employer is obligated to pay anything owed and salary for the period worked till your effective termination date.

You got it all
They should just pay my salary
I dash them the benefits with all my heart

The HR promised my Sept salary to be paid

N2B2:


Forget the salary and stop going to work, or draft a new resignation letter with a 3-month notice & wait for 3 months to leave. Only a company that's so bad it knows it'll struggle to get employees will demand a 3-month resignation notice.

The HR promised me that my salary will be paid ,I guess without benefits

It is fine
I can forfeit the benefits

Draft a new letter?
What is at the other end is times 4 the current one

But I need money to hold body and settle down really

Tundex911:
How I wish the senate don approved the latest bills, if your company do anyhow na to sue them be answer and at things be now just do am jejely okay so you can receive at all At all from them

Peace ✌️

Thanks , I met the HR she told me that I will be paid

I will update everyone on the issue by next week

etrange:


3 months? Was he a director? It's all about what the contract letter says. For many organizations, it would depend on the level of the person living. Something like two weeks for junior, a month for mid and 2 months for senior.

@OP, you'll get paid if you give the right notice. But your payment would likely be prorated to reflect how many days you worked in the pay period.

I was referring to my appointment letter which states 3 months........I met the HR today she promised me that I will be paid

dosage150:
Very painful, did you make any move about that ?

Several moves (legal). Still on it, hopefully NHRC forces their hands to move.

Yea, I will update you on that

If its was a contract type of an employment.....You dont need the 3 month that is stipulated in Labour law compliance..You just give them official letter and move on for something better.Its very common in security work for the management to deprives you of your salary once you let them know that you are leaving soonest.

Oh... OK. 3 months is a long one. But I'm glad you've sorted it out. Good luck on your new job!

Always read through before signing the dotted lines. Don't rush. Read well and get a second/lawyer's opinion in case of doubt.

On 2, run.

On 3, don't burn bridges. Wait it out if you must.

Congratulations man.
