Talk2david1:Yes. By virtue of section 3 of the National Minimum Wage Act 2019 , the national minimum wage is #30,000. Section 4 of that Act also provides for certain categories of people exempted from being paid #30000. They are: A) workers paid on commission basis or piece rates B) Establishments with less than 25 workers C) workers in seasonal employment like Agriculture D) workers employed on a vessel or aircraft Section 9(1) of the same act also provides that an employer must pay his employee the national minimum wage which is subject to statutory deductions. Section 9(2) provides for punishment in cases where 9(1) is contravened -payment of all outstanding arreas - a penalty not exceeding 5% of the offending employer's monthly salary 3 Likes |

Talk2david1: Are all governors paying the minimum wage? U want to disturb a private employer? Go and sue ur state governor 1st. Nobody forces u too take the job. That’s what the employer can pay for the position. Private businesses isn’t like government work. U pay according to ur revenues. FG doesn’t bail them out or dash them money. 3 Likes |

femi4:This is not correct. Section 3(3) of the National Minimum Wage Act 2019 provides that any agreement to pay less than the minimum wage is void. So even if something like that was incorporated into the terms of the contract of employment and the employee had signed,such is of no effect. 3 Likes 1 Share |
