As a legal matter, unless you have an employment contract that says otherwise, he could absolutely fire you because he doesn’t like you. Read More At>>> Nigeriapen.com.ng Source: https://www.nigeriapen.com.ng/why-can-i-sue-my-employer-is-often-the-wrong-question-id8688778-html/ Lalasticlala |

Why bother suing your boss in a legal court when you can sue him at a shrine? Trust me if he was meant to pay you 4 months he'll do so without delay... 1 Like |

nigeriapenmedia: The passage above depicts a scenario unlikely to happen within our jurisdiction. Should such occur it would very unlikely for a lawyer to prove elements of racial or ethnic discrimination etc in making a case for his client's.. I would rather think of scenarios that commonly erupt locally between employers and employees in Nigeria...not America.. 2 Likes |

Also know that If you loose a family member who is employed to a company that has at least 5 workers, the beneficiaries of the (late) staff is entitled to a minimum of three(3) times the total annual emonulment( salary, transport allowance,housing allowance). If the company refuses to pay you can take them to court cause it is the law. The law mandates companies to have a compulsory group life assurance for their staff. 3 Likes |

In the Nigerian private sector anything goes. Slavery is the norm not the exception. Employers in Nigeria are particularly notorious for maltreating their employees. Though there are laws that are intended to protect workers few companies obey them. Even in cases where there is a signed contract between employer and employee the employer can still go ahead and violate every provision in the contract with impunity. If the employee tries to seek justice the judiciary and police will be bribed and they will conspire with the employer to frustrate the employee and the employee may end up in jail. Nigerian Employers may owe employees months or even years of salaries and bluntly refuse to pay and still continue insisting the employees must continue working and must not leave. Some companies in Nigeria have become nothing but a large slave yard where citizens labour with no guarantee that they are going to get paid for the work they are doing. Even when companies pay they may pay below the minimum wage stipulated by law and workers are forced to accept it. Some companies make deductions from workers pay on behalf of the government but then fail to remit the deducted money to the government. The federal government is just as unfair in its treatment of its employees. In some companies employers have stripped the employees of all human rights including right to liberty, right to freedom of expression, freedom of association and religious freedom. Some employers force their employees to become members of the church they attend. Some employers force their employees to support and vote for particular political parties. Some employers force some of their employees to marry the relatives of the employer. Some employers prevent their employees from talking to their fellow employees when at work and at home. |

Thanks for sharing this. Something similar just happened to me at ?y place of work, though am a contract staff there, but my supervisor sees me as shit, he uses words like u are stupid for doing that , u are a foolish man when talking to me. But there is nothing we can do, we just have to keep taking the shit just to pay our bills. Have once reported him to our overall boss, but i still ended up geting the blames all becos am a contract staff. Some of those things won't work in nigeria becos our legal system is bleeped up already. 1 Like |
