Most schools resumed on 13th or September and anybody that knows how these schools operate should know they only pay for the days you worked. Except you came to work while school was on break, expecting to get your full pay when you only worked for half of the month is quite far fetched. Your HOD has always had a grouse against the school owners and wanted to use the staff to tackle them. It's a good thing he was let go. Even if you're displeasured with the half pay, there are ways you could have aired your grievance without returning the money 2 Likes 1 Share |

When did you resume work? After the 20th of September? I think I understand why you were paid 50%. I have not worked as a teacher before so I don’t know how it works. But in normal private medium enterprises, they prorate your salary if you start halfway into the month. Except December of course. |

dominique: Madame, this is slave mentality talk. I don't know why you Nigerians are deeply soaked in mental slavery. The ideal & legal way is to count the number of days they worked in September and pay them. That is why we have HR & accounting staff. This will also reflect on their pay slip, so no one can argue. 3 Likes |

Opexzy:Good thing you did. I believe it is wise never to return to a former workplace when one left as a result of disagreement over conditions of work irrespective of promises of better conditions. Most times it doesn't get better but worse. You even lose your respect and dignity in the process. Having a good side hustle or tight savings are good recipe for staying ahead. I guess that was what helped you in moving on fast. 1 Like |

femi4: Pleasant reply to the OP! I believed there is still more to this OP story. O P and associates,can you just tell me in Nigeria of today,is there anything the govt is really doing to assist the business Owners in Nigeria?: - No water - No light -No Roads - No Infrastructural Development' -Even the Covid-19 Fund was never disbursed to many businesses, including Private Schools,which I'm aware of! In a saner clime,for instance, Canadian stayed home for the same Covid-19 yet they all collected $2500 per a person,for each time of lochdown! So Is not the same blood running their veins,both in Nigeria and Canada! Please,blame your govt. |

The school failed to pay his staff for the month of August all because it was holiday, then come to pay 50% at the end of September without any explanation before the payment is done, that's inhumane. The HOD has not done anything wrong, it's just that the school owner/management lack human management skill. Now that the HOD is sack, she should check her appointment letter and ensure she understand the terms there so she can claim her right. She should be payed one month upfront with the sack. Schools like that most often don't have a better welfare scheme for their staff 1 Like 1 Share |

[quote author=kolemark22 post=106538550]It is factual that the case of unemployment in the Nigerian sphere has led to the unwanted maltreatment of members of staff of private organizations. Some business owners especially private school owners are becoming more and more insensitive to the plight of the members of their staff in our present day society. I work in a school where I am paid 50k as an academic staff. We did not get our pay in August because school was not in session. However, wen we resumed in September, the proprietor decides to ease our stress by giving everyone 5k. At the end of the month, without prior notice he decided to pay us 50% of our salary. We were dumbfounded by this act. With the level of disappointment, my HOD decided that we should return the 50% as a sign of our displeasure. About seven of us obliged and returned the 50% salary. When the proprietor learnt about it, he was furious. He ended up relieving the HOD of his duty. Sighting that he was a threat to his establishment. For the rest of us, we will know our fate tomorrow whether we will stay or leave. I hope I stay though because I I prefer to leave on my own and not asked to leave. [/quote So you want to tell me that you can't leave that good for nothing job? |

kolemark22:Why are you still hoping to stay, when you have the opportunity to make the first strike? Why don't you guys turn in your resignation letter in Mass in solidarity with the sacked HOD? This is the problem of Nigerians, they always wants others to sacrifice for their rights and we'll being, while they only fold their hands to complain. The HOD also aught to have spoken with the proprietor first on the matter before returning the money. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Alitair: Thanks for this. The HOD tried fighting for them but they couldn't even stand behind him. What they don't know is that someone of that level who knows his onions and is ready to risk probably has a backup plan and like you said, they must have paid him before asking him to leave. You can sack someone of that level just like that because he knows what to do and I'm sure he will easily get another job in another (probably smaller) school that will pay almost the same salary. As for the OP, just know it that the proprietor will henceforth be paying all of you a fraction of your salary haven't tested the waters and seeing he can getawsy with it. I will advice you maintain a good relationship with that HOD since you stood by him in that decision cos you might be needing his help to secure another job soon. 3 Likes 1 Share |

The entire teachers are not cooperating, there are saboteurs among you;hence, while should it be only 7 of you that returned the 50%, it should have being the entire teacher. This single mistake is why the owner leverage to sack just the HOD. If all of you had approach the proprietor in unison, he or she would liases with you all or everyone leaves (sack).. HOD lost his or her job and the rest of you are so cool with it, hence, you wouldn't be scared anticipating if the rest 7 will be sacked or not... kolemark22: |

I have an experience similar to this when I was working in a private school 2005 in Ogun state when I have an issue with the principal and he decided to sack me but they are feeling reluctant to give me my pay for that month but when they notice that I am a trouble maker and ready to make trouble with them they call me to come for my pay and i left the school immediately. Take it up with them as in through proper means and get your pay and walk away from them, may be God is ready to open door for you. Most of these proprietors like to enslave people and take advantage of the bad system and unemployment free yourself bro |

I have been in similar situation with your HOD, only that in my case, I informed my colleagues not to sign the PV for a salary they didn't not collect but they went ahead and signed it and my Project Manager was informed what I did. He was furious and wanted sacking me but I was the only M&E in my organization that understood the NOMIS database, and sacking me will cost the organisation troubles. I have learnt to fight alone after that incidence. 1 Like 1 Share |

kolemark22: It’s an internal issue. The HOD should have made such unilateral decisions against the establishment. That shouldn’t have been the 1st line of action. He should have done a written complaint 1st about the short payment then take it from there based on the formal reply given by the skol management. Obviously it was a bridge in contract to reduce ur salary bt it happens and there are explanations. The HOD should have found out why that was done. |

kolemark22: This is why I can never work for any man again all my life. The wickedness of this generation is unmeasurable. Some of them will be ordinary employees like you, since they can't control your salary, they will just choose who to maltreat and who to pamper. Once you have been chosen for maltreatment, make mistake enter office by 7am or 7:01am. Being ONE MINUTE late, nah so query go dey fly up and down, as if you broke into the vault and stole the corporation's one month's entire earnings. Most humanbeings are useless o. The man is supposed to pay you AUGUST and SEPTEMBER salaries in full. Whether the school is in session or not, FG and state governments pay their teachers' salaries. There is no rule which states that private schools should withhold salaries from their staff when school is out of session. |
