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

3 months? Was he a director? It's all about what the contract letter says. For many organizations, it would depend on the level of the person living. Something like two weeks for junior, a month for mid and 2 months for senior.

@OP, you'll get paid if you give the right notice. But your payment would likely be prorated to reflect how many days you worked in the pay period.

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

For a normal company, if you havent been employed for longer than a few months it should be 2weeks notice or at most 1month notice.

But in the end its all about what was written in your job acceptance letter you signed to.

If its 3months notice, that company is fraudulent and you shouldnt think twice before you ball out.

Any appointment letter expecting beyond one month is a fraud



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

It depends on the organization, which is clearly stated in thier appointment letters and manual

In mine they use a tier system, so CEO and directiors must give at least 3months, managrs 2mnths and other cadres are one month

In a sane environment, it's 3 months notice. There are organisations that when you get employed, you ll sign that they must not sack you anyhow or you leave them anyhow. You notify them with 3 months notice before resignation and they notify you with 3months before sacking/laying you off.
If you breach the agreement, they ll sue your ass and if they breach the agreement, you can hold their balls.

Not in Nigeria my dear. Nobody will hold anyone balls over here and over here they will even write it that if you can't abide with the one month notice you will pay them your basic salary and if they can't abide they will also pay you a full month ahead.

Usually it's one month if you have been there for more than the probation period which can be 3 or 6 months depending on what your offer letter says but two weeks if you are within probation period.
However, some companies will still pay you considering that you didn't quit without giving notice, secondly your commitment to your duties during your stay plus your relationship with management can also secure your salary even when you give short notice. There was a time I gave two days notice and still got paid.
Even though they told me I won't get shishi, I was still committed to discharging my duties even to the last minute.
They thought I was going to get angry or so when the HR said you will not be paid for this month, I went back to my desk and even increased my speed at work, to them it was like are you sure this guy will not come tomorrow but deep down inside me, I dey take that one do sent forth for them.

This is very funny. How possible is it to give [/b]three months notice.[b]

They should just say they don't want an employee to quit

Where I work it's 1 month
In the place I am working,three months is for the managers.
Re: What Is The Duration Of Notice Period For Resignation by Channel54: 4:20pm On Sep 28, 2022
Most of these companies breaches the term of contract,rather than paying monthly as stated in the offer letter,some pay a week after or 2 weeks after.

They started the breach,so u can as well do same, breaching terms pf contract is not exclusive to them alone.
Re: What Is The Duration Of Notice Period For Resignation by hmlsolo: 4:52pm On Sep 28, 2022
In most instances, whether it's indicated on your appointment letter or not. the normal notification for resignation is two weeks. two weeks is the ideal. If you fail to give two weeks notification prior to resignation, that's when the company has right to sanction you. But in your instance, you did the right thing. you'll be paid. nothing to worry about.

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.

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.
It is one month or you forgo the month's salary. Which one is 3 months?

[quote author=dosage150 post=117072644]I got a job in another company, which I am currently employed.

From the information you have provided to have worked for only one month and 10 days between (1-09-2022 till 4-10-2022), you are most likely to be unconfirmed. The contract of employment that I am familiar with, both employer and employee could give two (2) weeks notice or in lieu of notice of disengagement. However, if your appointment was confirmed during this short time, then a minimum of one (1) month notice is sufficient or on the other hand a one month basic salary should be given to the company in lieu of notice

If you were not given appointment letter, forger the resignation letter biko ..your resignation is maximum 1 months, minimum 2 weeks . A month if have stayed in the coy for a year and more all depending on your position sha. 6months under is just 2 weeks resignation. At worse u can do immediate resignation . It all depends on the way your management operates. Since you have gotten a new job already please collect your salary and quietly work away .
