Not all companies comply

What about right to parternity leave

oluwaseyi0:


You ain't going to be the only staff, just like most medical field, the holidays will be rotated

Some go on Jan 1st, others on Jan 2nd, 3rd till everyone have their share

Dey play

I worked on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd

Mindlog:


Is this exclusive to Nigerian hotels?

You don't get it. I mean when you work at a hotel, except if your off days is a holiday, then you can enjoy that day.
But if your "on" day falls on Christmas, my brother you will do that 25th at work and probably 26th sef

flemsy15:
A detailed appointment letter and agreement are needed for these rights to be applied. Most people resume work without appointment letters

As a teacher, you need to see my appointment letter . You go laugh taya. Selfish school owner.

But it doesn't discount that if you work in a hotel, you don't get annual leave. I work in children social care and I was at work on Christmas day till the 30th December and now on my annual leave.

Reason I asked in my initial post if it is exclusive to Nigeria, because I have Kenyan friennd who works with Hilton hotel, Nairobi and regularly spends her annual leave in the US while her son who is a chef in Qatar visits Kenya every year when on leave.

What is the adequate rate of calculatiig overtime and public holiday work with respect to labour acts in Nigeria?

The Principal Statute in Nigeria, the Labour Act, has recognised that employees do have rights which must be protected. These rights stem from the fundamental human rights as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, International Conventions and Protocols to which Nigeria is a signatory, to name a few.

Thus, an employee whose rights have been violated may bring against his employer an action for redress at the National Industrial Court.

Rights of the Employer

So to speak, the employee’s rights include the following;

Right to Maternity Leave
Right to Sick Leave
Right to freedom from discrimination
Right to Participate in Trade Union Activities
Right to Annual Holiday
Right to be treated with dignity and respect

Duties of the Employee

In addition to the rights of an employee, an employee also owes a duty to his employer, which the law expects him to render at all times of his employment. As stated earlier on, a duty is an obligation owed by one person to another. The employee’s duties to his employer include the following;

Duty to obey lawful Order. Lawful order includes instructions given within the context and timeframe of the work hours. An employee is expected to at all times comply with written and oral instructions of his employer. Failure to comply may result in the termination of the employment contract by the employer.
Duty of Disclosure: This duty requires that an employee must disclose to his employer all relevant and necessary information, must act in good faith, and personal interest must not and never conflict with his work obligations.
Duty to take reasonable care: In the performance of an employee’s duties, the law expects the employee to exercise great care and skill in order to avoid incurring liabilities to his employer. (Employers may in a bid to protect themselves from a careless employee, enter a separate contract of indemnity with the employee).
Duty to Indemnify the Employer: By this, an employee has a duty to indemnify his employer from the consequences of his negligent acts done in the course of his employment.

Consequences of Failure to perform his Duties

Where an employee fails to perform his duties as required by the law, the employer may sue the employee for damages caused and suffered. It is always to have a contract of indemnity signed by the employee in favour of the employer at the same time the contract of employment is executed.

The appropriate court having jurisdiction over labour-related disputes in Nigeria is the National Industrial Court.
