Bros, I understand, but owing salary shouldn't be a thing of pride, some company enjoy doing this alot...

I work as a facility manager, diesel, tax and alot of things are killing business, but my madam has never for once owe salary...

She believe the happiness of her staff is the growth of her business...

She simply ain’t there yet.

She obviously still has something she is falling back on.

When the business overheads continuously starts to triple the company’s generated income and she starts to pay staffs through bank loans rather than laying them off out of sentiments, then you will know survival of her business is more important that the happiness of her staff.

Most Nigeria companies usually use it to carry 2 sure odd, so as to multiple the budget salary.

Wickedness kowai ....orrrrrrrr

It's sheer wickedness... I think my place of work is the worst... I've never seen. Since this year till now, not even a single month has been paid to any worker here...not to talk of backlogs of last year... I made a resolution last year to get into Tech but it's as if the devil is trying to hinder that ambition. Money ritual is not only when someone kills u for money, this modern day slavery we are passing through in the hands of this company owner is ritual... I've become a shadow of my self, low self-esteem... sometimes I'll even scroll through my throwback pics and compare it to my present self and I'll just SMH...I dn turn introvert by force. Everyday na so I dy sleep for LinkedIn applying for jobs...my brother fear any company that is owned or ran by a politician.

And I learned alot from here... e.g not quitting your job until there's an alternative.
Shame just hold me.
Abeg my wonderful people, I need a job in any location as long as there will be accomodation with moderate salary... I'm an Engineer with ample years of experience in diverse engineering fields. I can fit in different roles and also a fast learner. I have always been big on creating jobs for the betterment of many but I still need salary to kick start the journey since I can't borrow. Biko nu.

Because your country refuses to adopt wage, pay, and standards laws.

Lol, speak for yourself, not all employers are wicked and hearless...

She doesn't have anything apart from the 6 malls I help her to manage and she's doing fine, she's just not like your average wicked employer...

If you have a small business of your own you will understand.
The cost of doing business is on the high side and at the end of the month it will look as if the workers have not work to end the pay.
But at the end of the month, salary will need to be paid.

Not a reason. Employ the number of people you can pay to avoid all these flimsy excuses

Pure human wickedness is the root cause of salary delay, I have worked where the entire staff salary is made in 3 days, but still, the wicked agbero of an MD will not pay until 2 weeks into the following month, and still use all manner of excuses to make sure nobody collects full salary, not greeting her in morning sef, she go debit you. A bakery in mpape abuja

Majority of them are not paying taxes.

The taxes na die, Nigeria is messed up

1. Arrogance

Some Nigerian bosses like the feeling of demi gods, so, they delay your salary at will so you can feel the heat and respect them More, remember, lot of people are jobless

2. Poor staffing

Some companies use the delay salary tactics to teach their staffs lessons

3..Low Roi or income

4.. Bad economy

5. They used your salary to Carry 2 odds or olosho and the ticket cut

6. Wickedness

Trust me on this, an average Nigerian in any position of authority is wicked

7. Village people

They see say your face don show, so they don't want your shoe to shine

Once you notice this, please 🙏 resign ASAP. Research has shown it's an addiction and I have worked in such company, it's didn't last beyond 5yrs. I left after 1yrs learning what I wanted.

Every morning, different girls are coming out of his room, meeting he would never attend, things that are important he doesn't address it, his not organized, employ at will and paying salary to someone that's doing the same exact job you doing.

Good evening nairaland,

I was just reminiscing about my job and the went through the thread that hit front page on May 1st, if people love their job....

So I've been on my job for 2years now, and my salary haven't entered into the new month before, even if pay day is on Sunday, I will get alert, the first place I enjoyed this constant salary, is when I was in FCMB, their pay day is 22nd of every month, once the 22nd enter weekend, it would be paid on Friday...

I need to know why employer delay staff salary, after so much of their time, they have invested on the job?

Mine doesn't delay unless de payment day fall btw Saturday n Sunday the company will shift it to Monday cuz btw those two days re not bank working days since ours salary re pay directly from the bank.

wunmi590:


I need more views and contributions

Nlfpmod

The idea is to tie their staffs down, so he/she will not go unannounce. If an employee collect January salary on 10th of February he will think like its just 18 days to go to due for another salary. Let me endure

It's because we don't have strong labour laws, that's why. They dare not try this in saner climes. Nigeria is not a sane clime, so anything goes and there is nothing anyone can do about that. I've realised that Nigerians love the "business as usual" situation. They don't want rubbish to stop. We are so used to rubbish that anyone who isn't used to rubbish is seen as being an enemy. Honestly Nigeria has a lot to do to even get us back to being a stable nation.

That's nice...

My predent company, any day the end of the month end, we all get paid....

I'm still wondering why too.

That was how I was owed for two months only to pay for the 4th month and skip the 3rd month with the claim of paying me in cash when I know fully well during that certain month there was no cash flow.

Some employers sometimes find the slightest opportunity to cheat their workers and the delay for salary payment is either they are calculating their loss or just wickedness. Some even forget to pay when is due time. Imagine!

Working as a salary earner should be added as slavery.

Once worked for a God forsaken supermart /Phamacy laidat, this pple didn't informed me of late payment during the interview at all, and me sef no asked. Until like two weeks after taken the job that one talk leads to another and I asked a colleague about the payday.
I was shocked.
He was like, don't worry, senior staffs collect salary before junior staffs, so I asked like which date?
he said on the 8th! but junior staffs collect on the 10th!
I shock! so I will work for 38or39 days and be paid for 30 or 31 days!
I no con consider my sef again o, but those guys that their salary no reach 25k, dem go wait till the 10th of the following month and if dem lucky say no be wknd the day b sef.
I manage 3mnths before I japa.

so they should be owing workers instead of doing the needful! because you dey run at loss as a company, me sef suppose join you run my salary at loss?
na you born me?
na you dey pay my rent, feeding, carry family responsibilities etc.
why don't dey free some staff and ädd the responsibilities to remaining once and also add something to their salary, you will see how much they would have saved..
STOP THE WICKEDNESS!
slave master no do pass this one.

But at the end of the month, salary will need to be paid.

Why will they employed more than what they can comfortably cater for? Staffs welfare(salary) is never a thing of importance in business plan here in Nigeria.

My na 3 months no intention 2 pay am

Read what I wrote again.

No business owner or company is responsible for anyone's feeding, rent unless otherwise
stated in their contract and other family problems.

As long as they can not afford to meet up salary obligations over a run- you lay off staffs
or shut the business down.

No sentiments!!

Mine must always crossover to the next month sometimes 10th or farther sef...

Interesting.

I'll like to know more about the fixed deposit stuff.

How can one partake in it as an individual

pocohantas:
Quack company. No reasonable or reputable company delays salaries.

The ones that do so, it is like an employment bond to them. That way their staff can't resign unofficially at the end of the month. You have to wait until 8th or maybe 14th to get paid.

Government agencies use the money to do business. Years back they used to put it in fixed deposit and share the interest after three months. Put another three months again, rinse and repeat.

How can one earn this interest with personal money laying in the bank?

StormpyBee:
Lol!

Hold your accountant/ Treasurer responsible!

Him dey earn one or two days interest on the money.

Can you throw more lights on this?

If I want to use my money laying In the bank, how do I go about it

mariahAngel:

They could be using people's salaries to trade in shares.

One of the reasons could be the ineptitude of the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
The Ministry is meant to enforce the labour laws and ensure that employees get their salaries and other benefits as at when due amongst other things. But unfortunately the Ministry is sleeping.

Start by reaching out to a stockbroking house to open a trading account.
I recommend Cardinalstone securities.

Stock trading isn't new.
The work is knowing what good stocks to buy, having done your fundamental or technical analysis.
Although, there are generally sound companies that you can easily buy their stocks without fear. UBA, Zenith, WAPCO etc
