Good evening nairalanders. I need an answer to the above question most preferably by the lawyers in this forum. Sometime ago, the President signed into law the new minimum wage of #30,000 but some employers especially private school owners still pay their staff as low as #10,000 monthly. Even here in calabar some weeks ago, the street sweepers were protesting for not being paid their '#7,500' salary for 6 months. My question is,
Does the #30,000 minimum wage apply only to government workers or are private employees suppose to adhere to this law also?
And in a case where you work in big Private school that makes up to 70 million in a term, can You sue your employer for paying less than the minimum wage without loosing your job or being fired?

FuckDModz:
Them tie your umbilical cord for the job? Quit and find a job that can pay you better!

Fuc.king bastards have no clue what it takes to run a company and put lazy mfs in your payroll.

You can't sue them if you already agreed to less than 30k in your letter of appointment by appending your signature

But taking legal action against offending Employer is another cup of tea.

President Buhari approved financial autonomy for LG, Governors rejected it.
President Buhari approved financial autonomy for State Judiciary ,the Governors rejected it.
President Buhari approved financial autonomy for State Legislature, Governors rejected it.
President Buhari approved financial increment for teachers, Governors opposed it.
Yesterday president Buhari has approved financial bailout again for States and the Governors are silently jubilating. Between Buhari and State Governors who is your enemy?
I rest my case for now

Euforia:


Of course he can.

The court is the last resort of the 'common man' even when he has zero skills, poor attitude to work, is inept or grossly irresponsible and perhaps displays outright stupidity on all fronts.

Yes he can. And he should.

In doing so he finally leaves nobody in doubt as per his intelligence quotient.

We all get jobs we deserve at every point in time. Creation is perfect and so are the Laws governing and sustaining life.

Go figure......!

I
But please - don’t take a court action against an employer that doesn’t have the money to pay! It’s essentially fruitless.

Hope that helps.

Yampotatocarrot:


Well, the school can just claim they don't have the money to pay. Even if they get 70m as he stated, what is their running cost, does he know that?

So, anyway it goes, looking at your write-up, the employer wins, since it'll be "essentially fruitless"

Venerable612:


Employer doesn’t win, if the Court finds that they owe the claimants for outstanding wages. They will be indebted - whether or not they have the money to pay. Judgement debt can be levied against cash in bank account or assets… doesn’t matter if you have the money or not.
