Teensway:I might know this boss of yours Were you given the Company Code of Conduct? I doubt you were issued an appointment letter. If he's whom I am thinking, nwanne'm, your family gotta agree on how to 'pay small small' . Else, you go vomit am after some days at the police station |

Teensway: Usually, if you are on probation, it will be two weeks notice or two weeks salary by either party. Also note that the salary to be paid in lieu of notice is not your total salary but basic salary only. Your allowances do not come into the computation. Since your position is just a glorified messenger post (no offense meant), may be that is why the company did not bother to include the terms for termination of employment. From the way your boss behaved, I bet he can sack you at a moment notice without compensation. Apart from good human relations, since he had behaved like a thug in threatening you, I hate to say that you call his bluff. 4 months office assistant job experience cannot be a deal maker in your future cv. So just delete that experience. 2 Likes |

what were the conditions stated in the employment letter he gave you. if there's none, just walk into any law office and explain your plight,letting them no your age and financial status. you will definitely get someone to help you out. there's no such thing as pro Bono lawyer but all lawyers are expected to do a probono work for those who cannot afford to pay. I don't know where you reside but you can also approach an Area Court for a direct complain even without a lawyer and tell them of his threat to life and /or property. 1 Like |

dingbang:If quitting requires the letter, then it just means you have to go back to work, not return the money you have worked for. Go back to work, tender the notice and work for one month and still collect that month salary |
Re: I Resigned After Receiving My Salary: Help, Am I In Trouble? by Agbalanze(m): 4:54pm On Mar 31, 2017 |
Most Employment letter have that clause of 1 month salary in lieu of resignation but if its not written in yours, then your former boss has no case against you. |

Re: I Resigned After Receiving My Salary: Help, Am I In Trouble? by Zenithpeak(m): 5:08pm On Mar 31, 2017 |
My candid advice, if you or your parent can afford to pay him the money just call him to text you his account number and pay him back. Case closed...... |

You have a long way, to go in life, build a good relationship, for 2morow. he gave u a job that's privileged, you are just a secondary school guy, just buying jamb form, no guarantee of admission yet, .when u finished your education you might be compel to seek job in d same bank. Pls do not start your future with dis habit. Nairaand this day is now control by immature school leaver. Who don't have life experience. Remember 2morow. You would have informed ur boss, even though a week notice to handover. |

Re: I Resigned After Receiving My Salary: Help, Am I In Trouble? by Nobody: 5:32pm On Mar 31, 2017 |
First off get a lawyer... Then report to the police... Let them have a written report that you have reported the case... Then if anything happens u can sue them for a lot more... |

@OP: Just go and apologize to d man in his office. You could go with someone older than you for not giving some notice. True, it may not b stated in the employment letter and he really can't get back at you through legal means. But for peace and for d future, just tell him you are sorry. If he insists on d money, tell him your family has spent it that a lot of pressing things came up. Also, tell him d real reason you resigned was to do your school runs. |
Re: I Resigned After Receiving My Salary: Help, Am I In Trouble? by jawnieJorh(m): 5:44pm On Mar 31, 2017 |
were you given an employment letter as you commenced the work, stating your roles in the branch? if no official documents were signed between two of you, I don't think he has a case. Moreover you were not told u were supposed to give notice before resigning. Call Police for that criminal boss of yours for Breaking and Entry or bring his face to nairaland here, we will take it from here. Don't apologize at all! They were using you for a janitor bear that in mind. Future wetin, just write you jamb and make sure you pass. You don't need such imps in your life if you know your worth. |

Teensway: Teensway, many people have given you advice, some are reasonable while some are very ill advices. Do not engage in fight or any physical altercation with the man. That will be a very wrong move on your part. If possible don't even argue with him. Don't report to Nigerian police, if your lawyer wants to do, then fine. Because if you report to police by yourself, your boss and police will put you in the middle as a young guy This is what you need to do. Get a pro bono lawyer like many people has advised, don't talk with your boss again let your lawyer do the talking. You will need to pay back the last month salary because under employment contract, you need to give your employer at least 2 weeks notice so that they can find a replacement for you. However, if your lawyer is good, I expect him or her to make as much as 10 times your salary for you if the case goes to court. This is how he or she should go about it. For the last 4 months you have worked as a janitor which is not under your employment contract/job description, the lawyer will charge the company the salary of that job position. Also, for your boss threatening your life, the lawyer will also charge him for that. To make the case for life threat concrete, try record the voice of your boss the next time he comes to your house. By the time your lawyer tells him all this, I assure you he will be the one begging you to settle out of court. |

obembet:See people liking comments for liking sake. Ogbeni, didn't you read where he stated that he wrote the letter and submitted when the Boss asked him to do so? As long as that clause of having a written notice written to his employers is not in the employment letter, there is nothing the boss can do. |
Re: I Resigned After Receiving My Salary: Help, Am I In Trouble? by Rondigee: 6:06pm On Mar 31, 2017 |
Frontload the employment letter let's analyse it. But for now he has no right to come to your house to seize any property even if your employment letter says so. Except if he is a court in himself. Pray that he should come and seize the property so that you teach him a little lesson. |
