Nothing, in as much as your name is on the payroll. It gives you an added advantage over others that may be restricted by the codes of conduct in the letter; you can easily claim ignorance of the rules whenever you flout any of it

I'll like to meet you one day. You radiate so much knowledge

abdeiz:
Nice question OP.. Let me put this out there too.


What action can one take when their employers asks them to sign an undertaking to say they are no longer entitled to annual leave after working for a year. Is that right?

deltateam:
Must you demand for an appointment letter before starting work?

And they can easily send him off anytime, or decide not to pay him fully. The disadvantages is much too

adanny01:


Without an employment letter, you can get sacked with no warning or any entitlement. Infact you can be sacked on pay day without a dime.

You can also leave anyday anytime.

The main issue here is that you cannot sue the company nor report them to any authority.

They have plausible deniability on anything that concerns you.

They can send you to represent them but if things go south, you were never their staff.

Truth is that we don't have working labour laws here in our yeye country cope with the high level of unemployment so, sometimes employers just take undue advantage of all this stuff put together. Back to ur question is never right in as far as u were employed normally with ur appointment letter bros nor sign anything.

abdeiz:


I did under duress but plans are in place to leave soonest.. This country just tire person

Paulpaulpaul:


I said in as much as his name is on the payroll and of course he gets the agreed salary.

tunize:

If u are certain but nxt time be careful and don't do things under duress.

taiwosamwell:
A lot is disadvantages
1. You can be fired unjustly and you can't take legal action
2. You're not an Employee
3. If any issue occur between you and employer you can't take legal action

lekspot01:

In my own place of work, you must work for less than 5 years before appointment letter would be given to you and after that you must work for another five years before leaving the company and have the benefit. We are in a country

abdeiz:


I understand you but sometimes it is better to mellow than to go to war

Who would help me out in the legal fight?

Advice kindly noted sha.. I'd ensure not to be so naive next time

I just resumed a job in January, and the director insists on not giving appointment letter. In her words "don't you know appointment letter is an agreement" she hires and fires at will. The pay isn't even fantastic, not up to half of what I was earning in my previous job. I just tire. The annoying thing is that within the short period I've worked, they've seen what I can do. I know the job even more than they that employed me. I am also working with my heart like say na NY father company. It is well.
