Are you sure you are of working age and living in Nigeria?? A lot of small companies do not give employment letter. A sizable number of private schools inclusive. Its only people that have option of another job or have just started job search that declines such offers.

Desperate job seekers usually take the offer with the mind of moving on when a better offer comes.

You either reject or accept the offer. There is no one to report to. A lot of people without any other option usually takes such offer in good fate.

Trust me I am old enough... But you are right I have never worked in Nigeria....You made mention of desperate job seekers taking an offer...what offer..oral offer of appointment or what?
I am asking all this because I find it hard to understand how someone can start a job without an employment letter no matter how small the Establishment is/was....Because a lot of things are at stake without that letter

That how Indian behaves , i remember when a colleague of mine was given a suspension for talking to an indian harshly, The HR of that company who is a Nigerian was busy looking for a replacement and other Nigerians are busy happy that there colleagues is going to be sacked. Can you imagine. Arrant nonsense. They treat Nigerian like slaves and they pay Nigerian stipend . Our government are not helping matters . How can you be paying a graduate 20k, 30k etc. Too bad

BRO, YOU ARE SO CORRECT, THEY WILL TELL YOU THEY DONT NEED YOUR MBA, BSC OR HND CERTIFICATE because THEY WILL PAY YOU LIKE A SECONDARY SCHOOL CERTIFICATE HOLDER

Bros...they are a 1001 ways to prove employment..salary evidence...any form of allowances..even the sack letter..as a matter of fact any form of communication between the parties during the duration of work....and the law is on his side because the coy didn't state any terms so general terms are applicable...he just need to pursue it
You are very correct. There are so many ways to prove that he worked with them. But was there a binding agreement ab initio? You think he would be handed a sack letter when he was not given an employment letter? This can't happen. He was hired verbally and would be fired in the same manner. As long as it is the legal route, the 'contract' between them, which was to be his employment letter is missing. His statement of account could show he worked with the company, his colleagues might confirm it but in the end, he was just a ghost without a proof there. As far as the law is concerned, he has lost. Anyone can claim to have worked with Shell, what matters most at the end of the day is the letter which indicated that you were absorbed into Shell.

He's a contract staff and No employment letter for contract staff. But no work on public holidays.
. No employment letter for him? That alone is a violation of Nigeria labour law. Slave labour it is. A worker, whether full time or contract should be issued an employment letter conveying terms and conditions.

It has nothing to do with ignorance. It is the circumstances each person finds his or herself. if you have looked for job for a long time and you finally find one and they just asked you to resume without a letter. You'll do if you don't have any other option.

It is left for the Ministry of Labour to enforce this labour laws or provide a good avenue for people to report non-compliance.

I know a lot of people working without an employment letter. I cant asked them to resign as i don't have another job to offer them. What most people does is just to keep working there with the hope of later moving to a better and standard company when the opportunity comes. And if the opportunity still does not come, they will just be there.
Am nt saying d person should resign,just politely ask the HR 4 ur contract,its ur right.

And if the HR refuse to give the letter? Or what if the company or organisation does not even have HR. It still boils down to "you either take it like that or leave it".

Most of those companies are like that because the enforcement of our labour laws are lax. And also because of the oversaturation of the job market with job seekers.

Most of the online proud tribal members are simply waiting for their parents inheritance share non is really as successful as they posted on Instagram . No love for even the so call tribe they defend with slight family and ancestral problem occasionally.

Naija were we kill ladies and put in sewers. Tribalism on nairaland Moderators like to enjoy and push there bigotry to front pages for the young and the World to see hw black our anus really tinkles now that sucks

Cult fight every where beheading their way to favourable election results. Fulani going on rampages killing babes and children for cattles to reap from the National anthem I thought was for our generations even yet unborn.

The president in only employing an trusting his likes. 270million to clear IDP camps. If yu had spread ordinary 2million they wud scrape the ground till they meet devil in his palour.

Leave them if they sack yu now and yu happen to be from a particular tribe or religion you are toast. Open your mouth they call yu a wailer they Never believe Bob Marley Wailed is gut guts for us to jolly reggae music. I thank my God non of you where born in the days of Nelson mandela and Martin Lurther king because soon non of you would believed they ever existed like Jesus Christ and Dec 25th. Dame you atheist. I see your posts these days making fron pages.

And you expect Indians to like your bulk bottom abi.
Tribal addicts have y all ever ask what hardships the physically challenged in your various tribes are really facing. Or your tribe is so blessed that no handicap in your entire group photo.

Sue? Stop joking.What proff does he have dat he works for the firm? Dnt u get it, he doesnt have an employment contract.
I hope the company has been paying him by cash. if they have been transfering salaries into his account, then the lawyer may explore opportunities to use that as an evidence of employment.

The lawyer may also be able to get evidence from current employees as to whether they have letters or contract of employment. Most likely it is a "no". This may establish that the company has a practice of not giving letters/contracts of employment.

Hopefully the case can then be built that the company does not give letters/contracts of employment and it can seize to be a defence for them.

By the way, is the employee aware that he has to be at work on those days? How many employees were absent on that day and why do you think this guy was singles out to be sacked?

I quote understand you. But then again, we're not talking Nigerians nor a Nigerian company here. We're talking about horrible Asians who employ and fire the next day. They didn't bother to give him an employment letter because it has been a practice with them. Truth is, our law is so messed up that these folks enjoy more rights than us. They could maltreat anyone who work them and get away with it.
