I need to advice someone very close to me.


This is the gist of the story!

I got paid last month's salary on the last day of the month.

Now 5 days into the new month, I got an better offer (read that to mean, I have been interviewed and chosen by a new place before this)

Am getting a letter of appointment tomorrow.

How do I close the chapter at the former place of employment neatly?

By returning last month's salary or by working for the next 30 day's free or just walking away? Is there any other option?

What is the position of the law?

Thanks for your input

It depends entirely on your employment letter. What is stated under resignation/Termination? If none, then you are a free bird. If however they require you to provide one month notice or pay 'in lieu', then you can request new employer if you can resume in April or you pay your current employer 1-month salary

But when will all these Nigerians finally learn that "I am" is not the same thing as "Am" ?

pierrenwob:
I assume it is stipulated on your letter "one month notice or 1 month pay in lieu of notice". In which case it is legally acceptable to resign with immediate effect and pay them 1 month. However if you are working on a project or handling key responsibilities, you may want to give 1 month notice so as to handover properly and maintain good reputation/ relationship.

Please note that when you give 1 month notice and work for that one month, you current employer will pay you your full salary for that month. You will not be working for free.

Working away is not an option.

If you need to resume earlier than 1 month, you should give them notice with the number of days you can afford to and pay for the remaining days with cash.

Some companies may accept any remaining leave entitlement as part of your notice and you pay or work the rest off.

Just say, its about you

Anyway its simple.

If at the new job, you're told you can resume 1/4/17. Tender your resignation letter first thing tomorrow, to give them 1 month notice ahead, hence you get your salary for March, 2017.

But if you have to resume before 1/4/17, then return February's salary back to them and move on

owiko:
Op before you resign from your current job you are supposed to give your employer a one month notice, or you forfeit a month salary in lieu of notice. Failure to do so your employer has the constitutional right to carry out a legal action against you

monabass:


Hey bro, it doesnt quite sound ideal to me. why will he have to return the salary for February? He actually worked for the entire month hence his reward.
Will appreciate further clarification

Tazdroid:
Firstly, congrats on your new job

Secondly, it's not up to the law but the terms of your contract of employment. If none, then the law takes effect which is a month's notice or payment in lieu of notice (that is you pay your basic salary in order to leave immediately)

Thirdly, my candid advice is that you issue your letter of resignation and work for a month. It may seem strange but it depicts a form of respect for your former employer, not leaving in the blink of an eye. Your new employer would be astounded that opting to stay shows that you respect your boss well enough to give 'em time to find a replacement

Don't go and tell your new employer u need another 30days. It may be risky.
Some employer may see it as a good thing, that u will do the same to them when u wanna leave. on the other hand you could loose the position to someone else cos someone was dropped just to pick you belive me when I say the person is just a call away.

Best advice. This is reality , others are moral!!!

This is how it works in reality, people resign in different ways, some even send their resignation via a family or friend, They never show up. Its not like you have to pay the cash with your resignation letter immediately
Most of the time ur new employer dont give a damn about ur former place. So in order for u not to loose ur new place.

Resign formally with a letter effective immediately. Go and resume in your new place, your old employer is at ur mercy now. Infact they don't expect you to pay immediately u can pay it as u like. I paid mine 4 times via bank draft and I started paying 3months after I left. But I made sure I paid all to the last kobo becos I need their reference for any new job I'm going take in the future.

IF u work in a place where they quickly approve leave. Take a two weeks leave immediately and resign on the day your leave starts, this will cut wateva u are suppose to pay as in-lieu into two.

Good luck
