Hopefully after this Covid nonsense, we are looking to train staff who will provide book-keeping and accounting services for potential clients in Canada. Since these activities can be done off site, I am thinking of having Nigerians trained and performing these tasks.

This is the source of my confusion: I am only looking to employ single mothers, and widows with young/teenage kids as a means of helping them economically and believing that they will be happy to have a job that they can perform from home (I believe that this will reduce staff turnover). I have tried to do some research to find out if there are legal implications of employing only these sets of people.

Please I need non- emotional responses with links to sources if there is a legal implication of that. Thank in advance

Note: I am aware that a lot of women do not work well with others but this risk is already mitigated by the fact that they will be working in their own homes and probably attend a zoom meeting bi-monthly.

I read your post I must say that they are few nigerian single mothers who are willing to work with you so as to earn an income to support their kids at school... Please if you don't mind I have one who can do the job, she has banking experience and will be willing to work, please help her out if you really require the services

I don't really require the services. There are thousands of book-keepers in Canada. I am trying to help

1. This person you wish to recommend will get trained at my expense, learn the job and leave. As much as I want to help single moms and widows there is a selfish aspect to it - they are less likely to leave. I will try get you some stats to show that they are most likely to stick around longer.

Can a mod please move this to front page, so I know if to continue or scrap my plans , while its still January.

OP follow your office's policy on recruitment, you can share the link/openings with a lotta single mothers. Let everyone (single momma et al) have a fair playing ground.

Or do you prefer to cut corners and recruit single mothers who have no passion for the job just because you wanna help them economically?

Thanks.
But I own the business, can I cut corners on myself? But you have raised a good point and I would like this answered. I don't want to be taken up legally for "cutting corners" in a business that is mine and has no real recruitment policies yet

Since you've no recruitment policies (no law, no crime), then you are good to go as long as you don't hire minors. Why not draft a human resource manual, it will help you in a long run.

I receive your message well if your data says otherwise I can't argue with you because of a truth humans changes like the weather, but if you feel it's something you are passionate about doing, please do it and I will still seek your help to empower this particular person.
Thank you for anticipated cooperation

I'll reach out to you once I am sure there wont be any problem. I didn't get much help here so I am trying to going to reach out to the legal team at FIDA, PH or Lagos to know if I can go ahead.
I dont have access to my Nairaland email anymore. Can you send me a message here: itsamakaagain@yahoo.co.uk

Do you plan to run the company here in Nigeria or in Canada?

If you are in Canada you could be sued for discrimination if you employ only from a particular demography

I know I would be in jail in less than a year if I tried this in Canada. Organization has been registered in Canada, clients will be Canadian and potentially from the US. Management is in Canada, staff in Nigeria (Its complex )

There is no legal implication in selecting only single mothers for this here in Nigeria. Follow your dream and go through with it. I can tell you that there are a lot of single mothers out there looking for this opportunity, if u can go through with it along side with a mass advert to this, you will be amazed the number of single mothers that will get your attention and at the end you will end up training a whole nation cos women are the key to raising a nation. I say to u again, carry on with your dream, i personally know some single mothers that will be interested in this and i will be there to support u with bringing in some women that are 100 percent willing to go through with this to the end.
Cheers

Therefore your company is a Canadian company.

Thread with caution.

I suggest you register a company in Nigeria, employ the single mothers as employees of the Nigerian company to avoid any legal troubles in Canada. Then outsource.

Problem solved.


Every decision has an element of risk attached to it.

Recruiting single mothers alone is not a big deal here in Nigeria. We may view it as a form of empowerment plan.

However in the Western World (Canada etc ) they are more sensitive to things like this.


Ultimate Solution.
The "Oga patapata of them all" according to MC Edopikin

Register the Nigerian business as an NGO, package it as an empowerment scheme for Single mothers and Widows, give them jobs to do in Canada.

Everybody is happy

Your Canadian competitors, government and enemies will keep quiet.

Case closed.

The bolded part in the second paragraph. Its called empowerment.

Maximise it fully and present it properly.
