Depends on your management.

A well run organisation can still pay and absorb a months salary despite no revenue.

After a month, they may start slashing or laying off.

I see a lot of people commenting that companies can't pay...but the company should be paying salaries from immediate income. Shows poor cash flow planning

Okay, I have always talked about my boss here on Nairaland on how he is so kind, friendly, we get huge free lunch, gave some of us brand new latest iPhones, almost took us to Dubai lol, we work from 11am to 5pm and just Mon-Friday...though not a Nigerian but a Spanish man. He has been so worried about we his staff as he left Nigeria late last year and has decided to pay our salaries in advance (2months) as he understands how things are in Nigeria and I just hope things will get better because no one knows how long this could go. We have some bosses who truly have the fear of God in them. It’s so difficult leaving this kind of job for another and this could be a challenge in disguise as we all need to move forward but I really really do appreciate God for this job as it took me years before I finally got this job last year.

[quote author=TokeableGod post=88459492]What about security personel hope they are going get there salary as long as they go to work everyday right??[/qoute]
if you are going to work everyday during this lockdown, you should must get your salary complete. security personnel has nothing to do with company's sales. if they don't want you to secure the company for them, they can as well tell to go home and join the Lockdown. as long as you do your job whether lockdown all not you must collect your salary in full... the advance salary is for those on lockdown.

I hope this is only applies to only large establishments as many of the smaller ones cannot run this efficiently at least in this economy.

Finally, there is a clear cut distinction between theory and reality.

It doesn't look like you have any experience running a shoe string or hamstrung budget micro business.

People that cant run a small grocery shop successfully will be bringing theories from books written by a white man without considering the environment such business operates. Now i see why the rate of unemployment is high in this country. An average graduate just wanna be employed and collect paycheck at the end of the month. Such mentality will further increase the rate of unemployment after this pandemic

You taking it personal not every private sector boss even have the power to pay it he want to , there are some coming that runs on daily and weekly income and since there’s lockdown where will that kind of private company pay is or her worker e.g private primary and sec schools , guest house workers , ok food factory workers and so many companies it’s not their fault hand the man is not wicked just state is own option . U have 2 sales shops and since lock down that happen for a month they don’t come and u don’t make single sales are u going to pay don’t be sentimental . Every body is using what they have to survive this period only God will help us all

I don't understand why we are so enamoured by the deadbeat concept; 'graduate'. If you are running any business in Nigeria and have had need to interview for vacant roles you will come to real terms with the emptiness of that word as given expression by the majority of contemporary school leavers. It is a very sad situation but it is not discussed because of the sensitivity of the subject matter.

The school system is just producing husks for us at least in the majority of cases.

Somebody will be telling you that salaries should not be paid from immediate income which in real terms is not practicable for a small business that is perhaps new underfunded, underpatronized and run by inexperienced though passionate minds.

An interaction with those Alhajas selling lace and Guinea brocade in Tinubu square will unveil the mockery of an educational system and its products.

Experience will yet come to our aid in everything.

We have to be rational in our thinking.

Even if I can't pay, I will still give them something. The lockdown is not anybody's fault.

My wife is into Salon biz. she paid hee 2staff in March despite the lock down in Lagos which was since mid march. Ive also told her to pay dem in April as well despite not working. There are some sacrifices to bear for continuity.

How do the staff feed if they are not paid? Some companies will contribute to COVID fund and then go and lay off staff.

God will see us through...
Baba you guys did this because you can afford to do so. If your savings are minimal , i am sure you would have a re-think.

It depends on the terms of your contract, appointment, how long the lockdown would last and the size of your organisation.
I reckon that everyone should be paid for the month but if the lockdown lasts longer, serious discussion have to take place between employees, employers and the government.

Dude, why rain so much foul words on him?
Doesn't make you a better person. Easy bro.

If d company is bankrupt, what do you think will happen to worker's families? They will live.

But why is ur mind so much on money u didn't work for? We r talking of company, not government. They r affected too by government's decisions. Even 9ja stinks of recession.

If u own an average company (maybe medium scale), which of those ur interventions will u implement?

Ain't an easy pill to swallow.

You dey mind them, am sure they wont pay their own person cook, driver, eve gateman this times
.company ain't making money , and you no work you dey ask of money.
