2weeks to 1month notice is cool or you pay cash in lieu.

HR don't need to approve your resignation once you have
done the needful.

Ensure you have your resignation copies and date the HR received it.

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
3months it depends on the place It could 2 in some places. The mistake you made is that you should have waited till 15 for your salary . Following day yiu submit your resgnatiion lletter. You may have to fotgo the 15 days you have spent in the new month.

I think notice periods should be mentioned in your initial job contract i.e your offer letter when you joined the company you're about to leave. If that's not the case, different notice periods actually exists depending on your employer. Some 2weeks, one month e.t.c

Congrats Op cool
Just continue to add value to yourself, that way your prospects for job placement increases. People who do find it difficult landing jobs most often than not are those without experience (freshers) in the field. Once you continue to grow in experience, you can easily switch jobs without lingering delay.

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

There are jobs requiring you to give 3months notice if you are an HOD of a department in a company or the manager. It prevents jumping from a job to the other. Its done in a very structured company and company willing for you to join then can wait for you.

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.
exactly what he should have done

Unless you just wanna forfiet your pay, forget whatever notice period written on your employment letter. I have given a day, 2 weeks and a month notice before. I won't give any employer more than 30 days notice unless the job I'm transitioning to gives me up to 3 months to resume. Some do depending on the role you're entering.

In Nigeria, notice period is one day if you're under probation or worked for a period of three months or less; one week for more than three months but less than two years of service; two weeks for two to five years [/b]of service and [b]one month for five or more years.

However, you might lose some employment benefits if you don't give the required notice in your contract. You employer is obligated to pay anything owed and salary for the period worked till your effective termination date.

In usa, it is minimum of 2 weeks. In nigeria, it is minimum of 4 weeks. It is unlawful for companies to extend it more than that.
If you fail to give the official duration of notice, you will forfeit salary and maybe other benefits. But in a country like nigeria without law, they can sack you without notice. So resignation without notice is becoming a norm

if you are entitled to Benefits (like Gratuity), its not Advisable to Resign without Notice

Forget the salary and stop going to work, or draft a new resignation letter with a 3-month notice & wait for 3 months to leave. Only a company that's so bad it knows it'll struggle to get employees will demand a 3-month resignation notice.

I think it's at company's discretion. Every company have their condition of employment within which all rights are expressed.

My advise for you is to read your employment letter carefully (if you were issued one) to understand what and what is required of you. Also, check if there is a clause for termination and what is says and the procedures.
