Background: I was employed 2-month ago and the job was a full time job. It's more of inventory in a luxury firm. It's a one- man business operated by husband and wife.

I was given a responsibility of handling the inventory aspect which I will submit on an Excel format(which must include all pictures of the stock keeping unit of above 1000) I took my time to study the process and counted every stock and submitted. The company/shop did not have any primary data before now.

Towards mid January, while still on the excel, the wife brought one software which she said she want to use for sale and that I should continue uploading the items. I suspended the Excel and continued with the software. Her culture before now which I got from old staff was to use inventory officer to count her stock and sack them at the end of 3--month and she always get away with that since no appointments letter until end of 3month.

The wife now insist on not paying me January salary with flimsy excuses of not getting my report on time . Is that a valid reason? What should be the next line of action for me now that I don't have a letter of appointment?

No employment letter was given at the time of being employed, so I don't think there is much a lawyer can do other than to placate them to pay you. Have you seen the husband to talk to about the situation?
Who told you that??

In the first place, not giving him an employment letter or statement of employment in lieu of appointment letter is already offence number one.

If they don't want to pay you:
(1)Give out their phone numbers, let us keep them busy.
(2) If that is not enough,make that company uncomfortable online by telling every Tom,Dick and Harry online.
(3) VDM is there as a ratel.

Re: My January Salary Withheld by abbey621(m):
If you are hired professionally and not given an appointment letter at resumption or before, do not take the job! There's virtually zero reasons not to have that letter ready and signed before work commences, this is a trait of dubious and wicked companies that wouldn't try such nonsense if they were abroad!

People will call to disturb them on your behalf.


You will come in begging you to came and collect your money


Also if is an open shop arrange with your guy who will assume to be a customer that want to buy in large quantity, then when he get to the shop spoil the company image which will stop him from buying right in front of them

Get a competent lawyer to charge them to court for forcefully making you to work for them. Since you and your organization do not have a copy of an employment letter. To me it’s a good case. Let the court know that you’re forcefully threatened to work for them or they might bleeped someone up in your family. Show the court the evidence of work done. Also, fine a case of abuse. But, before you take this step allow your lawyer explain to them what you’re about to do.

Adullam001:
This is pure wickedness. Hire a Lawyer to sue them.

Meanwhile,

Listen to this Testimony.

''I graduated from University of Port Harcourt in the year 2019 with a second class upper, ever since then to find a job became a problem. I have applied for jobs in several places and organisations up to no avail, I have prayed and fasted and yet no solution, at a point I stopped praying.

When I discovered that my job hunting was not yielding any fruit, I gave up. Meanwhile I was still living with my mother. When the hardship became unbearable, I started to look for a something doing job just to survive.

I then started to do POS for someone hoping for when things may turn around.

I was scrolling on Facebook one evening when I saw a status update of a friend, how he received a miracle after joining a prayer group and participating in it. After reading the testimony, I was convinced and said let me give it a try, after all I have nothing to lose.

The first time I joined the prayer group, I loved their praise and worship and their activities. When the pastor of the group started ministration, he through the world of knowledge detected my case and thrashed it and told me to apply for any job that I will get it.

After like one week I dusted my CV and started my job hunting again and believed that this time around I will get a job. As I applied in three places, the second company called me for interview and I went after the interview, they said they will get back to me.

After One week, my phone rang it was them that called me, after some discussion, I was given a Job in that manufacturing company with a juicy salary and other benefits. The company is owned by the Chinese people.

When I broke the news to my mother, she could not contain her joy. That was how 6 years of joblessness was thrashed by God almighty. Praise God''.

There is nothing God cannot so, no yoke He cannot break. Be it joblessness, poverty, sickness, disappointment or anything just bring it to the Lord and your life shall never remain the same.

Join us today in our prayers and your case shall be located through the word of knowledge and that problem will be over.

For more information on how to join us, chat us up on Whats.App 2.3.4.9.0.3.6.2.6.9.5.8.9.
All this lie just to promote your prayer group which invariably would end up involving one form of contribution along the line.
Is this Godly and is this the format you want to use to make it?

Employment letter does not matter.
You can employ people verbally.
It is legal and binding.


Here is the general provisions of the law in quote:

"7. (1) Not later than three months after the beginning of a workers period of employment with an employer, the employer shall give to the worker a written statement specifying;" the details of the employment.
Re: My January Salary Withheld by worksmart(m): 6:33pm On Feb 11, 2025
OP since someone had informed you that it is your madam's strategy to sack inventory staff after 3 months , you should work harder and try and give reason to see the value in retaining you beyond the 3 months mark.

Create more functions in your daily tasks that gives added value and all the while start to search for alternative employment to coincide with the end of your first 3months.

Change your midset to viewing the job as a 3 months contract job and if and when you are sacked leave the job on good terms with your employer that way you could still approach them to give you a good reference for any new job offer you receive.

Appointment letter should be before you step foot in the company.

It will contain all the terms of the contract to avoid stories that touch.
