Employers Risk One-month Imprisonment For Late Payment Of Salaries by IamDietiesGod: 8:43pm On Sep 27, 2022 |
House of Representatives has passed for second reading a bill to prohibit late payment of salaries, underpayment of wages, pension and other emoluments in Nigeria. The bill sponsored by the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila was passed for second reading on Tuesday following the debate on the general principle of the bill.. The bill seeks to prohibit employees from owing salaries and other emoluments. The bill is prescribing punishment for such employers. For instance, owing salaries above 60days, such an employer risks 30 days imprisonment. Section 2 of the bill provides that “Every employer of labour in Nigeria, whether private or public, and whether it is employing any worker on permanent or contract basis must ensure that all payment of wages, salaries, pension and all benefits to workers are paid promptly without delay weekly, fortnightly monthly, quarterly or yearly as may be agreed by parties in the contract of employment of the additional individuals” In addition, the bill prohibits arbitrary and harsh deduction as punishment in the event of damages and negligence by an employee. Section 3(1) says “an employer is prohibited from entering into any contract with any workman for any deduction from the sum contracted to be paid by the employer to the workman, or any payment to the employer by the workman for in respect of bad negligent work or injury to the material or property of the employer or in respect of any fine.” The bill was referred to the committee of the whole as it was not debated. https://dailypost.ng/2022/09/27/employers-risk-one-month-imprisonment-for-late-payment-of-salaries/ 36 Likes 4 Shares

Laughable bill The FG and SGs are the worst salary defaulters, unfortunately they are also the biggest employers of labor in the country...so, the law won't work because it's against the greatest law breakers 176 Likes 12 Shares |

I dont know nigerians like to vote for very useless people to rule them only to turn back and cry. People who will never make laws to will guarantee social justice and equitable distribution of democracy dividends. You destroy the economy and want others to pay for your stupidity? |

They better set up a mechanism to enforce it. There should a place someone can complain to and the matter will thence be taken up. This may lead to victimization at work Making laws is not a problem in Nigeria but the enforcement 3 Likes |

I also agree it's a crime to humanity for someone to work for you and you refused to pay them at the right time...it's pure wickedness. If your organisation is not profitable.....get the workforce that will collect whatever you are proposing to keep the organisation alive... The excuses of we can't pay you...we are not making enough no just cut... Dialogue with your employees if your organisation is facing crisis...they are the ones working, so they know the truth...propose salary reduction or reduce workforce if need be....but to have people working 247 and at the end of the day, you refused to pay them...That's wickedness!!! 8 Likes 1 Share |

lol what if they late on paying their workers because their customer the government is late on paying them? I never like the fact Nigeria has a minimums wage they never enforced. The state and local governments should be forced to choose between firing staff or Increasing taxes. 1 Like |
