I got a job in another company, which I am currently employed.

My start date for the next job is on 10-10-2022.
I have given my current employer my notice of resignation through the HR on 24-9-2022, stating that my last day of work will be on 4-10-2022.(Two weeks)

My colleague was telling me yesterday that the company will not pay me since they have seen my resignation letter.

I should have collected my salary and leave impromptu.

I have to be cleared from the company,that's why I gave them notice
Even though they treated me bad I want to end everything so we part ways peacefully

I can't wait for my salary because they pay on 15th of next month and I need to relax before taking up another job hence giving them notice for resignation.

NB: 1)I have been coming to work since that 24-10-2022
2) The HR have not approved my resignation
3) I worked from the 1-09-2022 till 4-10-2022

I believe that I should be paid

Please is there any reason why this company shouldn't pay me ?
How do I follow this up to know my stand, because if they won't pay me, no need coming to work or even giving them notice

Depends on what is written in your appointment letter, if you give a notice short of what is stated in your appointment letter, it might be a bit difficult to convince them to pay you. You just have to play by the rules.

Just referred to this , it should be 3 months notice , it is well

Since na 3months notice dey your appointment letter, just forget salary.

Congratulations on being one of d successful applicants for the first batch of NJFP.

One month in lieu of notice otherwise what's in your appointment letter

Na wa o. This life no balance o and people get lucky, see as Man like me they switch jobs for this same Naija and I am here rusting away,so much that the energy and steam is at an all time low.

Congrats Op ...Someone should help with a job please or something to get myself stable. This country / Life is getting tough by the day and almost unhabitable.

Any appointment letter expecting beyond one month is a fraud

Sweetplum:
At least 3 months in sane world.

Are you a comedian
This is how you know people who have never work a single day

So you mean if you get a job Jan 3rd you will tell you new employer to wait till April before you resume

Bomb Asia is the Period

If you don't know then you cannot resign

At least 3 months in sane world. In schools, maybe a month.
But in Nigeria and especially private schools or organisations that sack at will, you too resign anyhow. Infact, you can stab them by resigning immediately after collecting salary.
Last Bullet
Why do I sound harsh?
Cos those organisations/schools are so harsh in sacking staff. I v seen schools that sacked teachers immediately without pay and it was at the end of the month when it wasn't recorded that the tutor stole.
And I v seen Chinese and Lebanese companies sacking people anyhow.
So...in Nigeria, it's jungle justice.

Depends.

Some organization require two weeks, some a month, some three months.

It all depends on risk factor.
You quit - some companies will escort you out with security and send you your last pay by mail.
Usually 2 weeks - the norm.
Extreme - you wait till they find a replacement but this is usually discussed in detail.

A month I reckon

I wasn't given an offer letter, I resigned a day to the last day of the month.

Till date, they refused to pay me. But we mooooooove.

U are very correct bro

A MONTH NOTICE OR A MONTH BASIC SALARY IN LIEU

Reading...

Two weeks

Consider giving two weeks' notice even if you've only been with your company for a few months. This allows time for your employer to get organized to replace your position. Give at least a two weeks' notice if you've been with your company for more than two years.

Agreement that you signed is Agreement!
Period!!
Just try and Move on

Your salary for this month will be used as a lieu of notice since the period you made it official was too short but to avoid issues refer to your appointment letter. Congratulations

all depends on how structured the company is.
it is however professional to leave on a good note
especially as your new employer may write your old one asking for references etal

Ask HR directly for the company's policy regarding your situation. Don't depend on only hearsay from your colleagues unless they're well informed about the situation, but still, confirm from HR, don't wait and hope to find out

Depend on the organization

A month should be fine.

..

Depends on a lot of factors.

1. Terms of Contract
2. Frustrating bosses
3. Good offer

Check your contract or appointment letter
