All your staff can't go for leave at once
He said if the month of April is treated as leave for all staff. Implying that for the rest of the year, no staff will go on leave again.
It's a nice thought and for organisations that have their staff at heart, its a good suggestion.

there's is a contract particularly the players.

Don't you know that when a player is on injury even if it's through out their career, they'll still be paid their wage.

So, that's a poot comparison


So workers don't have a contract with their boss?

I will appreciate your comment if you actually are a business owner and do understand the business challenges involved in this climate, then you have earned the right to make such comment, however if the reverse is the case, then I will tell you talk is cheap. You are only sentimental because you are on the receiving end and have nothing at stake. Ethnically as business owners you need to work things out with your staff during this period. Government can afford to pay their workers because it is Government, the money is already budgeted. All or most government parastatals don't fund their salaries, the major reason corruption strives and the economy not productive and why we are here as a country.

Only Government workers will be paid fully and few standard private firms. Those firms may pay like half or just give bonus to their staffs. Meanwhile, most private workers will get nothing. Sad

Sorry to say but someone like yourself will not even pay a dime assuming u have a company with staffs .

Its easy for workers to expect money at the end of the month ,even if the company is in debts and striving to stay afloat. You didn't work for one month .Company was in standstill for one month u still want Oga to cough out money and give you, instead of facing the government who does not give a fucvk whether we die of hunger or not .
Billions of naira and euros were given to the government to share to every citizen in Nigeria but shigbain! We no see
All they are giving us is stories


Oga, I pray God bless u to open a company in Nigeria , so u understand fully what entrepreneurs go through just to make sure people like u stop bad mouthing your boss .

Nigerians sef!

That’s why you have a government, all the payroll taxes and profit taxes, excise taxes, import and export duties, bribes, money from lobbyists government earned from them is for times like this. Look at what the government is doin in other countries.

You guys should stop demonising private firms all the time, without them we won’t be better than Somalia cos our government is useless
Don't mind him. As if it's easy to run an enterprise. Clubs as big as Barcelona are cutting players wages to as much as 70% and he is here typing balderdash.
A whole Liverpool is enrolling their players to the national scheme and so forth.
I earnestly encourage those that can pay in full or some percent to pay their staff but all in all running a business or private organisation is not easy.

I have been working from home and it have been stressful. I spent more on keeping my laptop on for 10hrs. I have been receiving my salary in full.
In short, I am about to apply for unconvinces allowance cos working under this heat and aedc light is not worth it.

Why do you think only you is entitled to inconvenience allowance or is it the whole company including your boss applying?

If you own a business, would you pay workers for work that is not done?



We have to be rational in our thinking.


U obviously own ur business , hence the angle u r coming from.

Nothing wrong wt giving a staff some palliative measures. Even if its just 30% of the normal salary at least to stock up food items.

this is your emotion speaking not your rational mind.

Even in the US the government offered to help small businesses so they can afford to do what you're asking for but here you are berating someone that hasn't recieve anything and the business probably running on a loss. Many businesses are suffering sir

I was typing a response and I changed my mind.

Seconded.
I thank God in have father who is loving. Weeks ago, he had already paid salaries of the gatemen, securitymen etc and told them to go into lockdown even before time.
I'd do the same over and over if I was a boss too.

Did u read about JUVENTUS (salary suspended for 3months and be paid installmentally ?) and BARCA ( 70% paycut for all playing staffs both football and basketball players just to be able to pay the non playing staffs?). These are clubs wt high revenues. This time calls for sacrifice as egungun don enter express already. When there is no input, output will be drastically affected. No one saw this coming. Both employers and employees are in this together and now is the time to support ur employer who have never let u down with salary issues in the past. Times are hard for private business owners out there. They may look big in your eyes but are actually sweating

We locked down a week before the government announced its lockdown. We paid all our staff in full for the month of March. We committed to pay them their basic pay for the month of April. If the lockdown exceeds April.... we hope the government will take care of them.

U don't honestly. Just open BBC Sports link, one of the biggest issues there is players wages. Most clubs have told their non playing staffs to go on a temporary leave without payment, some clubs have agreed to take the government intervention loan/deferral. Some clubs are talking to their players to agreed on a pay cut, Real Madrid players agreed on 20% cut. Players in Serial A refused to take pay cut. Some clubs players even waive their salaries during this corona an example is the German league. Now many clubs cannot be able to pay salaries of their players it the corona continue the main reason why some clubs are anticipating for resumption to training or close door matches.

But all your staff can stay at home

Is it the organization's wish for all the staff to stay at home?

Do you know how much companies are bleeding right now?

Do you know how many bosses have to pay loans out of nothing?

Do you know how many bosses source raw materials from China and their stuff stuck ?

Let me tell u something about the average oga or boss in Nigeria.
It's not that they dont have the palliative measures to help their workers o. It's just that they dont want to use money they are putting into building a house somewhere to pay them. No heart of love. Eod.
These are the kind of times that a true boss, or a true oga shows himself. We dont have a heart of love.
That house we r building should not be a bigger idea than the lives of our workers.

That's y it's always good if you have a plan B or backup.
Imagine if you have a biz by the side like a POS shop,a cab,an okada,a saloon, small poultry etc.They will definitely be a fall back before u get another reasonable job.

How can these plan B hustle work in a lockdown?
