Is There Any Labour Law In Nigeria To Protect My Friend?
« on: February 07, 2007, 06:58 PM »

Hello Nairalanders!

I will quite appreciate your help and input in seeking a way to help my friend that is down now with frustration in the hands of Indian Firm Employer.

She got job with the Indian firm as a manager with 25 days leave entitlement ( this is contained in her employment letter). The company gives incentive to managers at the end of the month. After her first month of work, the incentive was paid.

The subsequent month she was told that her boss instructed that her name should be struck out from the managers list and was not paid the incentive. The same boss immediately passed instruction that her leave entitlement should be 21days instead of the 25days in the employment letter.She is still in probation. She is right now facing this humiliation and frustration.

Is there any angle of labour law in Nigeria that she can seek succour from?
Is there anything she can do?

If this is really urgent as it looks, I'd advise that you seek for a legal advice elsewhere. You might not get a quick response here as it is.

You need to post the name of the company here so  that we can start sending them responses. That's not good treating the citizens of the country where you get your daily bread especially the ones that are helping you.

Let her hold on first, since shes still on probationary period.  Shes not yet a staff.  Its after her confirmation she can now have FULL right to claim her entitlements.

I am sorry to say this, it could be that shes not living up to expectation, I mean performance wise, It could be that shes not good to be called a MANAGER.

Acting now, may cause her, her job. Let her keep quiet until she proves herself.  The company has the FULL right to sack her if they are not comfortable with her performance during the probationary period.

If shes confirmed, she can fight her right through the Union, if the company is unionised anyway!

I may be wrong. Why not say something.
