I'll echo pidgin's advice. If you sign a legal contract of employment with the company, you have every cause to file a case against them in an employment tribunal. They have no right whatsoever to owe you salary for services rendered, to start with.

MadCow1:
So do you have proof? Can you pay 500,000 Naira in legal fees to get a Lawyer?

If yes, then go get a lawyer..

Or wait for them to die and attend their funeral like this..

looooooooolllllll........

Nice one but this one is not a joking matter.

I'm not surprised.
I'm not appalled.

Bros. Enough with the long story. You just blew hot air without passing across any message.

If you need justice done, then we need the name of the company as well as the various names of the people who infringed upon your rights.

Without names, you are just another individual who was cheated by Chinese people. Without names, you are on your own.


You of all people should know this by now.

Chief are you a legal practitioner?

If not , then i'll advice you to READ my concluding part well.
It doesn't have to be a FIGHT-FIGHT issue.

I'm asking for advice on what steps should be taken so as not to make mistakes. And i believe people in the legal practice will understand better.
Every sensible person will know that i can't just post names on this public forum without proper reasoning.

Thanks anyway

Op

What's the name of the company or what do they produce?

Maybe I can buy a distribution right too.

The rubbish chinese and indian companies do in Nigeria to their Nigerian staff is really appalling

its bad buh in a way I don't blame them coz we Nigerians don't value ourselves always idolizing foreigners so wat do u expect wen u don't value ya own., an outsider wont value/respect you.

I just shake my head and weep for my country. Bloody chinkos will come and boss us around in our country. Lebanese will leave their war ravaged country and come boss over us in our own country.... Even south Africans will come, boss over us, impose incredible prices(MTN and DSTV) on us, flout court orders, exploit our hospitality and take all their naija gotten wealth back to SA for investment. Even Indians who shouldn't stand near Nigeria in development(doubt that? How about u watch slumdog millionaire) will still come and boss over us. Why Nigeria? What sin did we commit? How have we gotten to this?

wen u don't value ya own wat do u expect? I will just say na Nigerians be d prob

Don't waste your resources and time, if you don't have a complete evidence to show in Court.

I think your contribution is harsh, to a fellow who is in excruciating pains of sudden retrenchment. It is not a situation anybody wishes for.

All we owe this fellow, is how to assist him with either our knowledge or influence to get justice, if needed.

However, we really do not need the company's name or persons involved. We only need the full details and a true picture of the situation that subjected him to this plight.

It's too early to start shouting over 1 month's payment. This is 9ja and employers owe money all the time. It would be very hard for you to mount any legal challenge against them as other companies had set a precedence for cases such as this. They say payback is a b*tch, I would advise you to compile a list of all your clients and sabotage their business. Seriously you have the experience and home field advantage on your side, all you have to do is find a similar job with a competitor, poach all the clients to the new job and smile!

Thanks for your input.

I was actually employed as a Senior staff, i have my Appointment letter and i was made to undertake a Handing-over process where my ID card was collected and my immediate superiors( who are also part of the scheme now) counter-signed and ascertained that i'm not owing the company of it's partners any dime.
Funny thing is - They didn't give me a Termination letter, they just invited me to the Head office, Told me verbally and told me that i will be communicated on when to come for my Termination letter and they also made verbal promises of paying the salary of the last month in which i worked.

So what other evidence is needed?

Good day All, I have an issue with a Chinese- owned FMCG manufacturing company that is based in Agege, Lagos.

I was employed February this year as an Area Sales Manager and my job function was to recruit Distributors – Business people who buy in bulk purchases and resell to Sub-distributors, Wholesalers and retailers as the case may be.

Although faced with the challenges of :

- No support sales team like Sales executive, Merchandisers etc (Though they promised to provide)
- No mobility tool move around an Area covering 3 states in the south west.
- No support in form of Marketing and promotions.

As a career person who has over 6 years experience in the same position in other companies in the past, I gave in my best and in no time started getting sales from my location.

Suddenly during the 1st week of August I got a call to appear at the Head Office and was told I’ve been relieved of my services because I didn’t perform as expected by management. Shocking as it is, and coupled with the fact that records proved otherwise, I agreed to move since it’s not my father’s company.

BUT my salary of July was not paid up till now (Almost 1 month), despite the fact that I surpassed my target and did 117%- well above my target in the month of July.

I have done ALL the necessary clearance – which are releasing all company’s property in my possession and the company’s staff (National Sales Manager and Regional Managers) have confirmed that I do not owe any customer /Distributor any KOBO.

I have been calling the HR Manager, the NSM and Regional Manager for weeks and all they are playing me like I’m kid.

I believe this is an infringement on my Human rights as I have a lot of financial challenges; I have a young family to take care, I have to move on with my career and so on.

The delay has made me lose my intention of applying for an MBA I wanted to apply for as deadline for application is passed and I’ve been exposed to terrible conditions and situations that have financial links.

I hereby appeal to all Human Right activists, Labour union activists, human right lawyers and the general public[b] to advice me[/b] on what steps to take because I suspect FOUL PLAY by the management of this company.

I believe there are lots of Nigerian youths who have also been mistreated by these foreign companies and it's time we put an end to it.

Find a good settlement lawyer.

How can we help? Why not contact a lawyer to take up your case? These people are not kind to themselves in their own country. what do we expect them to do here?

You have raised very salient points that are worth reflecting upon. While I share your disappointment with the painful realities in the country, I will encourage you not to lose hope on our beautiful country.

More so, I want you to realize that there are laws guiding the operations of all companies in Nigeria. Companies like MTN, DSTV, SHOPRITE are just like GLO, HITV and TANTALIZER, and they are also regulated equally.

I agree with you that we are being exploited, and heavily so, but you also need to understand the challenges faced by these companies. That is WHY our indigenous companies like HITV, ECONET couldn't compete favourably.

They could have provided the needed competition and consumers alternative in the event of perceived exploitation or outright dissatisfaction.
The issue of arbitrary charges by DSTV was brought before the court on baseless terms. DSTV has the prerogative and protection of the law to review their charges at any time, just like any other company.

I can't remember any suit brought before the court on the arbitrary charges and or the erratic price reviews by our transport companies, private schools and even the CBN.

The consumers can only ask for consideration.

Most importantly, majority of us believe that seeking redress in court is a waste of time, and that is why most people are being unjustly exploited by both fellow Nigerians and foreigners.

You can write a letter of complain and adress it to the Hon commissioner public complaint comission,gate glass house National assembly, TBS ikoyi nigerian. And bring it my hand or post to this office .They would surely help u fight for ur right witout charges to retrive ur salary.

Op, you may want to consider some internal investigation as it may have been a case of you being short-changed by under reporting your efforts or division of your incentives

Hello Bro.
I faced the same thing sometime ago. I asked for my money but they started acting funny. I went to a lawyer who wrote the company and they wrote back in a very intimidating and hope-smashing manner through their very tough looking rich lawyers. I was scared I had nothing to hold the company to since I had never experienced such a thing before but my lawyer kept laughing @ their reply and the music changed when I sued for 2 million naira in damages and defamation of character and bla bla bla. We went to court and they saw I was not joking so They started begging and calling for truce and out of court settlement. I got 800,000 in settlement when all I was asking for was for them to settle me make I waka.

please get your appointment letter, payslips, salary account statement and a lawyer. DO NOT listen to anyone who tells you not to pursue this case except if you don't want to do it. I got a lot of discouraging talks from everyone, even my parents and brothers..... telling me to LEAVE IT FOR GOD, GOD WILL JUDGE THEM, blablabla. I am glad that I didn't listen to any of them. nothing was more satisfying than seeing the looks on their sorry cheating faces as they were begging.

you can sue but except you have another claim other than wrongful termination of employment, the best you would get is probably your July salary and maybe another months salary depending on you contract of employment and maybe interest at the commercial rate calculated till the money is paid..

the law will not force an employee on an unwilling employer. you wont get much if anything by way of damages or a claim for legal fees. Candidly when you consider the cost of getting a good lawyer....you are better of cutting your losses and moving on

God bless you too brother. Amen to all that.
There are lots of Lawyers looking for this type case because they will get their percentage from the court settlement. Go get a lawyer and let him tell you if you have enough ground for a case. if he says NO then u ask another lawyer. No let anyone use you play for money matter. when I wanted to sue my former company, nobody encouraged me. but I stubborn and I was not ready to go out without a fight. They brought the best lawyers who wear expensive suits and drive big cars but my own lawyer no even know wetin be Gucci. all that matters was that all my facts was right and the law was in my favour. such cases don't even take time. you can start looking for another job while you sue the chinko company. as for me, that was the last company I ever worked for. dem dey crayse for head. Victoria acerta.
