Good day nairalanders,
I need an advise from any lawyer in the house. I got a new job and was a given a letter of employment by the HR personnel of the company. I told the HR personnel that I have to give one month notice to my current employer then but she insisted on 3weeks. I agreed with the 3 weeks and sent my letter of resignation giving 3 weeks ahead as my last day with my current employer then. After about a week the HR personnel told me that the company cannot pay me the agreed amount, I told her that I have dropped my resignation letter and there is nothing I can do about it at that point in time.
On the resumption date stated in my letter of employment, I went to the HR personnel and to my greatest surprise she acted as if we have not met before, I had to introduce myself.
She requested for my resignation letter because she was insisting that I might have not resigned when she told me about the salary. Meanwhile, I sent my resignation letter as an attachment through my official email with my previous employer. I provided the copy of the letter and she insisted to get mail itself that I attached the letter. I was not able to get that since I no longer have access to the email.
We dragged this issue for a long time till she admitted that the vacancy no longer exists. I am now jobless for a month now.
I intend to write to my previous employer to confirm that they received resignation letter on the date I sent it to them. Finally, I intend to sue the company for a breach of contract, Please advise if I have a chance to win the case. Thanks for your responses.

Go to his friends and explain to them beg them to take you to him and promise your employer that you've accepted the cause of your actions and it won't happen again he should give you one last chance GOOD Luck

Bros,
You would have consulted wise men/friends before taking such decision why because Nigeria is not an ideal environment for such practice.
You would have requested for leave then go and resume at the other office. Take your time to study the working environment before concluding on your decision.
I doubt if going back there would make a significant difference because an "Average man" is not happy about another man’s progress. As a result, even if the post is still vacant, they may tell you that they have employed another person.
Even a lawyer go use you chop because hiring a lawyer has some cost implications. The company can even take their stand claiming they have issues. Will you kill them?
These are part of the irregularities that made this country Nigeria…
Go and queue on nairaland job page; trust me you don’t wanna give up.

Yes, u have a strong case. Head to an industrial court and file your case. You may not need the services of a lawyer if you can't afford one. This is a serious breach of contract; forget about the letter they are asking for, they gave you a valid appointment letter stating the conditions of engagement.

For the benefit of others reading:

When you get a new offer, resume immediately! Forget the one month in Lieu nonsense. There is provisions in the labor act for monitizing it. You return one month basic salary to them and move on. Maximum of one week notice is ideal if u are in a position where a comprehensive handover is required.

quite true and and a friend lost one because she insisted on one month for proper handover and she lost that job - so it's best to be careful in our confidence strive....

Another option is to get your annual leave and resume At the new place. Mail them towards the end of the leave and then take two days and return to them to formalise the exit.

Quite true


I prefer a hard copy letter and keep a signed copy. If u must mail, then copy your own private mail

Why are you shielding the 419 company? Come out with their name, and address. Wage a serious social media war against them. Let the whole world know how evil they are.

Don't let those bastards get away with this. Sue their ars.e for the entire offer they gave u multiplied by 35 yrs u would have worked for them, include legal fees, inconvenience fee and 12% interest rate pending on when the case will be concluded. Industrial court don don't take that long.

@machi1 it is challengeable and u can win. However Nigeria is very corrupt, the court, the judge and your adversary may collaborate to frustrate ur good case. Find a good lawyer, demand for good penalty and split the penalty with your lawyer in an agreed ratio that way u can take care of the bill.
