Methink there's more to what you narrated than meet the eyes, your entitlements can ONLY be witheld if you are dismissed from work, but if i may ask, were you a contract/casual staff all thru the duration of your engagement with the firm?

Maxymilliano,
i was employed directly by zenith securities ltd which is a subsidiary of zenith bank.my appointment was confirmed by same coy after a year+,zenith bank pays me salary directly.so there is no hidden issue but it was later one coy peopleplus mgmt services believed to be owned by zenith bank now begin to corresponde with us without our due approval/ćonsent.

@Op, you mean your service was outsourced to Peopleplus mgt service? If yes, was there a letter to that effect? And lastly, was your last appointment pensionable?

Maxymiliano
tnx for your interest.yes ,there was no letter to that effect as the bank did not seek our consent in any form.and my first appointment was not paid off before peoplplus mgmt took over.

sorry for the stress you are going thru now. First, it takes a big courage for a graduate to take up a security job!

On your final entitlement, what do you think is your entitlement they are denying you? This things are usually stated in the employee policy.

These are what l think your entitlement will include, but it depends on what your employee policy says, you cant get what the policy didnt cover, but surely get what the labour law covers...check ur policy to know if you actually have a case before sueing them.

(1) Annual leave allowance - it will be prorated base on the no of months u worked in that year (not statutory but a major market practice in Nigeria)
(2) 13th month - prorated as no. 1 above (if the company has it as a policy - not statutory)
(3) Severance Package (if its the coy's policy - its not statutory)
(4) Pension (statutory - make sure ur pension contribution is up to date)

Note: if you resign without giving them enough notice as stated in your employment contract, you will be owing them!

House,i need more suggestion on how/what to do b/c even an apprentice serving his oga is settled after his service .
