Kindsoul55: If your theory is correct t then A level 8 receiving 85k gross will receive 85×2 ≠170k gross at level 12. Therfore it means that a level 8 step 3 that receives 81k gross will receive 81×2≠ 162k gross at level 12 After deduction only them knows how much will be net pay. |

donjazzet: This might come a little bit off , but it’s just an observation sha. I think one major challenge u have is u don’t listen to people most especially if their views don’t align with ur own personal views/heart desires . You rely too heavily on ur intelligence/brilliance and personal conviction. I do not know u personally but I’ve seen u do it over and over again on this forum. I may be wrong tho. That being said , I remember a colleague of mine who was an ajebutter right from day one; he attended a private Uni and was protected from all of these street stuff. The guy got gifted a brand new car while waiting for NYSC , his parents got him a house in Gbagada and when he started working he started soft like u described about urself up there. One time at work he told me about a bet slip he saw online when one guy used 500 to Win almost 2 million. He said he wished somebody can teach him sports betting so he can make a kill out of it with his deep pockets . I sat him down and told him it’s a road he never wants to go down. I let him know I’m very good at predicting matches and I had a good success rate while I was in Uni and my winnings helped not only me but my roommates to sort some of our bills in finals. However I stopped immediately I went for NYSC in the north and there was no betting shop in the north due to sharia law forbidding gambling . NB: that was a time Nigerian bookies had not started the whole online betting , most of the bets were done in bet shops . I got a job after NYSC and vowed to never go back cos I’ve seen how betting can make a man with a good job go bankrupt. Unlike you who didn’t listen to Raumdeuter, that my colleague in question listened to my advice and he was better for it . He never played around the idea of sports betting until one day he told me one of his guys who he wanted to meet to teach him before our discussion had to sell his car to clear the debt he ran into through betting . I’m sure if my guy had not listened his own would’ve been worst. All the same, it’s good u shared ur story so others can learn. PS: It’s always best to learn from the experience of others than ur own experience . Lessons learnt from other people’s experience can be sweet, while lessons learnt from ur own experience can be really really bitter . 3 Likes 2 Shares |

dmercy141983: Copied! Since each step is about 3k and a L12/S11 gets 170k just move the steps 8 times backwards from and remove 3k at each step 3000 × 8 = 24000 170000-24000 = 146000 Therefore L12/S3 "may" be 146000 Deductions =? Net Pay =? I'm just speculating ooo! |

donjazzet: My experience is extremely similar to yours except that mine lasted about 6-8 months. The deal breaker for me was that I could barely concentrate on anything. Even in church, I'm refreshing livescores. I had nothing else to think of. Just forecast and play bet. I knew I couldn't continue living my life like that. And it wasn't like I was always winning. It was a consistent cycle of wins and losses. Na so I say bye bye to betting. Never again 1 Like |

I disagree. Frugal is the more appropriate[ word. Basically the western world works different from Nigeria and Africa. You dont see people spraying money in weddings and feeding 1000 people. You have to plan everything 100 percent. You cant get away from nepa bills like Nigeria. Nobody depends on anyone else for handouts. Everything is monitored 24/7- politicians are accountable, police is not collecting bribe and most of all the credit system works- if you dont handle your finances well it affects you in the long run. So basically, all the leakages in nigeria that have made the country a damn mess dont exist in the west.!author=uche87 post=125289894]Let me start this piece with a common saying on social media. If you are in the habit of complaining people are stingy, it might be an indication that you are begging too much. Well, much has been said about people in the United Kingdom being tight-fisted. To a large extent, I am of the opinion that this is true and could be attributed to some of the reasons explained below: (1) Culture: The United Kingdom just like most Western countries has embraced individualism. The system of every man for himself. In Africa, it is collectivism which simply means 'Let's do it as a family, let's grow together' You will hardly see the core Britons help each other financially. They will rather rely on credit facilities from banks, credit cards, and benefits to survive tough financial times. This is unlike Nigeria where 'billing' is almost cultural in the 21st century due to age-long systemic poverty. (2) Littany of lies: Some Nigerians are in the business of cooking up comprehensive and water-tight lies to extort money from their family members abroad. Personally, I have friends who have abandoned their WhatsApp accounts to avoid hearing countless touching stories from friends and acquaintances in Nigeria. To cope with the virus of lies, people in the UK have adopted a firewall to block all intrusions. (3) Hustle is hard: Life in the UK is historically difficult, and in recent times, things have gotten tougher for the 6th largest economy in the world due to the growing population, Brexit, COVID-19, and other issues. People work round the clock, under extreme weather conditions, to earn money and the cost of living is too high. As of 2020/2021, employees were chasing people for jobs. Two years later, the reserve is the case, even in the blue-collar jobs industry. So every penny counts. You don't want to make money only to play a Father Christmas to someone whose financial challenges might not be genuine. (4) Taxes: This topic doesn't require much explanation as this is a paramount issue in the UK. Any sort of comfort you enjoy in the country is taxed. It runs a service-based economy. I have seen people earn about £3,000 gross salary in a month and get a net pay of £2,300. Income tax, National Insurance, and pension deductions took about £750 which is more than the salary of a successful person in Nigeria. Rent, council tax, loan repayment, vehicle insurance, and others would further beat your take-home pay until it struggles to take you home in the end. (5) Personality traits Some people are naturally stingy. In fact, they even struggle to spend their own money on themselves. It appears they might be of the belief that the funds could be taken with them to the great beyond. I have a friend who has no record of helping anybody in the history of his life and he has no plan to turn a new leaf. People like these come to the UK and become hardened in the area of stinginess. (6) People are broke: If poverty in the world is being measured by raw cash and not access to food, the UK might be one of the poorest countries in Europe. Most people have to overwork, to the detriment of their health to make extra bucks. This is why some locals see the paper chase as a rat race and they prefer to stay unemployed and focus on benefits from the government. Furthermore, the housing crisis in the UK is real. As a family man, 70% of your monthly earnings easily go into accommodation costs. This makes life mentally stressful and frustrating. Anyone looking from the outside is easily deceived by the glossy pictures, nice clothes, and lovely locations they see on social media.

izzou: Well, for better context of this issue for me. 2017 was when I started earning for the first time in my life (salary wise) and my parents kinda gave me a very soft landing. And I became a gambler who liked betting. And I was actually winning! And I think it was nihilist funny enough had always advised me to always use low odds. And I did, I was a fairly high staker, 10k, 15k 20k with low odds like 5-10. And I will mostly post them here. I think my posts were what ignited the debates about gambling on the thread at that time. Here are some of them then. You can see the amounts staked and then the balance in my bet accounts then. https://www.nairaland.com/3585296/football-other-sports-betting-season/20#53027813 donjazet: donjazet: https://www.nairaland.com/3585296/football-other-sports-betting-season/1035#55573421 donjazet: Now, when you see these , you take note that I was wildly inexperienced with money, in terms of how to spend it judiciously, so in my eyes gambling was very lucrative, partly because I was winning and partly because I wasn't really feeling the effects of losing that initial money because again, (parents soft landing) renting house for me then and giving me their other car). But Dayo consistently did advice me whenever I post those "winnings", that I really should try and stop. Others would hyping me and praising the winnings, while he would advice caution! Caution! Whatever you think you are making now, you would lose it later. Take your winnings now and leave. And it wasn't until 2 years later when I found myself knee-deep in debt and gross financial ineptitude because of gambling that I realised what he had been telling me consistently. Now I went from this post here made in 2017 donjazet: And this; donjazet: To this; 3 years later. donjazet: donjazet: They say experience is the best teacher but dayo did actually help. 4 Likes 1 Share

REDshouse:You are right, judging from most comments. However, their complaints serve the same purpose as Nigeria having 3 billion dollars as net reserve is preposterous. What is really the gain in someone claiming his salary is 1 million naira when he is entitled to a payment of only 30 thousand naira at the end of the month. The reality is that our foreign reserves is seriously depleted whether the gross is $37 billion. Since the net is $3 billion, the $37 billion is what we have but do not have. |

Sports / Manchester United On Verge Of Signing 2 Midfielders by TruthHurts1(m): 8:16pm On Aug 20, 2023 |
Manchester United have reportedly made a move for Bayern Munich's Dutch Central Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch in their attempts to rejuvenate their midfield. The Netherlands international is keen on leaving Thomas Tuchel’s side after failing to find his footing in Munich following his move from Ajax in the summer of 2022. The Bavarians have so far shown reluctance to let him go and even turned down an approach from AC Milan a few weeks ago. However, the queue for Gravenberch’s services is getting bigger with every passing day, and United are the latest club to join the race. Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla indicates in ‘the last few hours’ the Red Devils contacted Bayern and made an offer for Gravenberch. The Dynamic midfielder, who’s on gross wages of around £200,000 a week before taxes in Munich, has also attracted an offer from Liverpool. The 21-year-old would like to play under Erik ten Hag, the manager who got the best out of him at Ajax. However, Pedulla suggests any move could depend on the future of Donny van de Beek or Scott McTominay, as United ideally want to sell at least one midfielder before moving in for a fresh face for their midfield. This might also be the reason why the Red Devils are yet to submit a bid for Sofyan Amrabat despite being aware of Fiorentina’s valuation and finding a total agreement concerning the Moroccan’s salary. It is understood Amrabat has patiently waited for United all summer, having said no to other approaches, but as we enter the dying embers of the summer transfer window, the Morocco international is hoping to wrap up his move swiftly, understandably. The English outfit’s purported offer for Gravenberch might worry those who want Amrabat at Old Trafford. However, Pedulla adds that they could sign both Amrabat and Gravenbach depending on sales. https://www.thefaithfulmufc.com/man-utd-have-submitted-offer-to-sign-200000-a-week-gravenberch/ |

Nairaland / General / Maximizing Your Understanding Of Payslips: A Comprehensive Guide by martinsnydor: 12:46pm On Aug 18, 2023 |
Unlock the secrets of a payslip and gain valuable insights into understanding your earnings and deductions. Explore this comprehensive guide to navigate through the intricacies of a payslip with ease. Introduction: In the realm of employment and finances, a payslip is a document of paramount importance. It's not just a piece of paper; it's a window into your earnings, deductions, and financial stability. In this guide, we will delve into the depths of payslips, demystifying the jargon, understanding the components, and empowering you with the knowledge to decode your payslip like a pro. So, whether you're a seasoned professional or a newcomer to the workforce, let's embark on this journey to demystify the payslip. Payslip: Breaking Down the Basics A payslip, also known as a pay stub or wage statement, is a document provided by employers to their employees. It outlines the details of an employee's earnings, deductions, and net pay for a specific pay period. Let's dive into the key components that make up a typical payslip: Earnings Section: This section provides a breakdown of the various types of earnings an employee has accrued during the pay period. These could include: Basic salary/Wage: The core compensation for the employee's work hours. Overtime Pay: Additional pay for hours worked beyond the regular schedule. Bonuses and Incentives: Performance-based rewards or special bonuses. Commissions: Additional pay based on sales or deals closed. Allowances: Supplementary payments such as housing or travel allowances. Deductions Section: Deductions are amounts subtracted from an employee's earnings, resulting in the net pay. Common deductions include: Tax Withholdings: Amounts withheld for income tax. Social Security Contributions: Contributions towards social security benefits. Health Insurance Premiums: Amounts for health coverage. Retirement Contributions: Contributions to retirement plans, such as a pension or 401(k). Loan Repayments: Installments for loans, if applicable. Additional Information: This part of the payslip might contain crucial details like the pay period dates, employee ID, employer information, and any leave balances. Navigating Your Payslip: Understanding the Jargon gross Pay: Your total earnings before any deductions. Net Pay: The amount you actually receive after all deductions. Taxable Income: The portion of your earnings subject to taxation. YTD (Year-to-Date): Cumulative figures from the beginning of the fiscal year till date. Unveiling the Mystery: Common FAQs about Payslips What is the significance of a payslip? A payslip is vital as it provides transparency about your earnings, deductions, and taxes. It aids in financial planning and ensures accurate payment. Can my payslip serve as proof of income? Absolutely! Many institutions require proof of income for loans or tenancy agreements, and your payslip is a credible source. Why is my net pay different from my salary? Deductions such as taxes, insurance, and retirement contributions reduce your gross pay to arrive at the net pay. What should I do if I find an error on my payslip? Contact your HR department immediately to rectify any discrepancies and ensure accurate records. Can I access my payslips online? Many companies offer online portals where you can access and download your payslips securely. Do I need to keep my old payslips? Yes, it's recommended to retain them for reference, especially when applying for loans or verifying past employment. Conclusion: In the intricate world of finances, the payslip is your guiding light. Armed with the knowledge gained from this guide, you're now equipped to decipher the payslip's enigma and ensure that every hard-earned penny is accounted for. Remember, understanding your payslip isn't just about numbers; it's about empowering yourself with financial awareness. So, the next time you receive your payslip, embrace it as more than just a document – it's a testament to your dedication and a roadmap to your financial aspirations.

Sports / Re: Why Are Players Going To Saudi Arabia? by EronzRichie(m): 2:21am On Aug 17, 2023 |
2 reasons. Money No Tax Money because it is very lucrative right now for a refined player to play In Saudi right because they pay better than any league. Tax Free: Most people fail to realise that footballers pay a lot of money in form of tax. I.e in england, the standard rate for personal income of a 150,000+ earner is 45%. So it means that a player that earns maybe 100k weekly gross, pays 45k as tax, then makes 55k net profit. But in Saudi, FOR NOW, it is TAX free. I.e Ronaldo's yearly salary of 200M is TAX FREE because he plays in SAUDI. So you see why players are going there? Another question you should ask is WHY ARE CLUBS SELLING THEIR PLAYERS? Well ,this because SAUDI ARABIA PAYS INSTANTLY instead of paying through a STRUCTURE I.e Addons,Ffp limitations etc. The money drops instantly thus,Clubs are OPEN TO SELLING. There is Money and there is ARAB MONEY. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Politics / Akpabio’s Holiday Allowance: Setting The Record Straight By: Soji Ikotun by Oluwabash(m): 2:25pm On Aug 11, 2023 |
Akpabio’s Holiday Allowance: Setting the Record Straight By: Soji Ikotun National Assembly has battled series of criticism over the years, these excoriation seems never ending. Most appalling of all, discussion around the budget and remuneration of our representatives are reprehensive. Castrating our institution of law-making on the platter of satisfying a paymaster’s quest will continue to spell doom to our desirous aspirations as people. These outbursts, either through ignorant or a deliberate attempt to diminish the good deeds of legislature over the years are undeserving. No wonder, average Nigerians see their representatives as mere lazy, corrupt and uninspiring politicians. For days now, the Nigerian media space had knocked the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio over his statement on ‘holiday allowance’ for the Senators who observing the annual recess as stipulated in the legislative calendar of the National Assembly. Akpabio sin was that he was transparent to air the lawmakers’ entitlement to recess allowance which is backed under the law. This recess allowance which is 10 per cent of the annual basic salary of each legislator, is paid once a year directly into the Lawmakers’ bank account. Even the statement announcing the Recess package was immediately retracted by the Senate President, having noticed the backslashes that will follow a sincere and transparent process which is a major in the Legislative agenda of the Senate. Nigerians woke up to news headlines and utterances mostly condemning the Senate President action. Newspapers and online platforms are busy feeding their audiences with the latest breaking news in town, but most of whom forgot to enlighten the general public the basic truth and the legitimate of the said allowance. The unnecessary controversy erupted basically to dent the image of the Senate President and that of the Senate as a body. I beseech Nigerians from all works of life to endeavour to understand the legislative procedures, having background knowledge of the establishment of the National Assembly and its organs will lay to rest these grey areas. The Federal lawmakers are faced with series of disparagement, most of these were birthed of hatred, misrepresentation and ignorance which some individuals might allegedly nurse against the workings of the Legislature or in an attempt to dent the image. Setting the Record Straight; National Assembly Budget has been from puzzle to tussle. Earlier to reminisce is the 2023 National Assembly Budget of N169bn out of the N21.8trn 2023 National Budget. To Nigerian public, the sum of N169bn is been shared by the Lawmakers while the legislative arm of government rotten in penury. This is gnarled to what is obtainable in the Budget. Now, let us break it down for clarity, the National Assembly have four other organs that all work with this annual budget, these organs are; the Public Complaints Commission(PCC) · National Assembly Service Commission(NASC) · National Assembly Budget and Research Office(NABRO) and National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies, NILDS. In fairness, five organs of legislature are not mere science, they have roles much relevant to lawmaking but most Nigerians are just aware of the main body, the National Assembly. Additionally, as a lawmaker at Federal level, you have huge responsibilities that cannot be compared to any functions of the Executive nor the Judiciary. The Legislators drive the wheel of governance. There is no gain saying in this. Among these roles we have laws making, repelling obsolete law, approves the amount citizens are to pay for tax, approves loans to be obtained by the country, approve budget and carryout oversight functions. National Assembly make or endorse policy for government, serve as the mouthpiece of their constituent; they articulate the interest of their constituent and present it to the national government. Not yet done with the roles of National Assembly, they also amend the constitution when necessary, in some instances, the control the executive officials; the control of the executive officials is done to prevent autocracy on the part of the executive. Any member of the executive that goes contrary to the law can be invited to the national assembly for questioning or strict discipline. Moreover, the national assembly can impeach the president or vice president when found to have committed the act of gross misconduct. Furthermore, ministerial and ambassadorial nominees are approved by the national assembly. This they just exercised and it is done to ensure that only qualified candidates are appointed to head post and to ensure strict adherence to federal character principles. Almost on a final note the Lawmakers, , they approves treaties. When a country enters into agreement with another country, the agreement is not valid until the National Assembly approves it. National Assembly controls the expenditure of public fund. It examines the implementation of budget by ministries. They supervise the expenditure of the government in line with budget funds. The National Assembly has power to declare a state of war between Nigeria and another country or state of emergency on any state of the federation. It is only the National Assembly that has power to approve the deployment of the armed forces on combat duty outside Nigeria. The National Assembly enacts the bilateral and multi-lateral treaties between Nigeria and other countries into law. National assembly ratifies the agreement and resolution between Nigeria and international bodies and conventions and protocols on Nigeria’s international obligations. National assembly receives visitors from friendly countries, members of legislative house of other countries. They also receives complaints from the public and advises government on such complaints. Senators and members of the House of Representatives act as the spokespersons of their constituencies. Can anyone be bold to an extent to now say, Nigerian Legislators are lazy....? The question should rather be, how well are we, Nigerians applauding these individuals that have made sacrifices to serve our fatherland untiringly....? On the issue of expenses by lawmaker, Nigeria is a state where we place goodwill above hardworking. Sorry, but that is the truth. Our people want to elect or see a Senator who can shoulder their responsibilities, pay their bills and create jobs for them at no expense. Once you fail to deliver on the above needs, you are automatically a worse politician ever in the history. You will be seen as underperformed lawmaker and the spell on your political career may be devastating. Let us take a critical look at a Senatorial District in Nigeria, under the watch of a Senator, we have the regular political party, under which his candidature was flagged to represent. We have the National party executives, same as State, Local government and the Ward level. We have associations both religious and socio-political, we have Royal fathers, Chiefs and other traditional leaders. We should never be quick to forget the youths bodies and women groups to mention just few. We are not talking about the immediate family and relatives of the elected representative. Now, the issue is, as an individual, how can you satisfy the yearnings of these numerous people and groups who are in one way or the other stakeholders in your journey to excel in the task of lawmaking. Here is where the Constituency Allowance come in, it was initiated initially to help Senators and House of Rep Members address socio-economic challenges in their immediate constituencies. It is also meant to support local development efforts. Let us face it, lawmakers confront a lot of challenges and pressure from voters mostly seeking personal and collective needs. These challenges, you cannot run away from it, unless, you are ready to leave the stage. We all know what I mean. I can tell you of a Senator, who sold three properties, in order to empower his constituents. As we speak, in the history of Constituency empowerment, his name stand tall but how can one justify that sacrifice to all he got while serving as a Senator. That is ultimate sacrifice. In this part of the world, we have our belief, our culture and customs. In Africa, for example, you may not need an approval from your adult child before visiting or living with them, we see this as a traditional norms. Same goes either having a philanthropist around you, many don’t hesitate before seeking help and we don’t want to understand how these individuals derive the means to help. Moreover, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, should not be taken to Golgotha over his comment on Holiday Allowance to Senators, this tradition has been in existence in the Senate and National Assembly in general. The Senate President had sets a positive precedent for public officeholders and fosters trust between elected officials and the citizens they serve. He has shown leadership and integrity in his commitment to serving the Nigerian people. The public have the right to be abreast on the activities of those elected to serve. When information is freely available and directly accessible to those who will be affected by such decisions and their enforcement, then, transparency became the standard bearer. Soji Ikotun, is a public affairs analyst and an Abuja based media consultant.

Travel / Re: Please I Need Directions by blovesther(f): 10:54pm On Aug 10, 2023 |
blovesther:My husband has finally gotten the contract from a company in Germany. My brother helped him get the job over there and the contract letter was sent to him to resume 1st of September which is very close. Please house, how can we make this happen for him not to miss this date. He already has his passport. This is the letter Employment contract (without collective bargaining) Between hereinafter referred to as "employer - and Mr: Godwin Resident: Date of birth: Place of birth: Nationality: Nigerian Tax ID No.: SV no.: - hereinafter referred to as "employee" - The following employment contract is concluded: § 1 Start of the employment relationship The employment relationship begins on 01.09.2023 § 2 Probationary period The employment relationship is concluded for an indefinite period. The first six months are considered a probationary period. During the probationary period, the employment relationship can be terminated on both sides with a notice period of two weeks. § 3 Activity The employee is hired as a construction manager And above all engaged in the following work: coordination -Instruction of standardised prefabricated components and all associated work. He also undertakes to carry out other work - also in another place - that corresponds to his previous knowledge and skills. This applies as far as this is reasonable when weighing the interests of the employer and the employee and not with a Wage reduction is associated. § 4 Labour remuneration The employee receives an hourly wage of 15 Euro. Insofar as an additional payment is granted by the employer, it is a voluntary benefit. Even the repeated unconditional payment does not establish a legal claim to the granting of benefits for the future. A claim to benefits does not exist for periods in which the employment relationship is suspended and there is no entitlement to remuneration. This applies in particular to parental leave, military and civilian service and unpaid leave. The prerequisite for granting a bonus is always that the employment relationship is neither terminated nor terminated on the day of payment. Page 1 [8/5, 10:45 PM] My brother 3: 5 working hours The regular weekly working time is 40 hours. The beginning and end of the daily working hours depend on the company classification. § 6 Vacation The employee is entitled to a statutory minimum leave of currently 24 Working days in the calendar year - starting from a five-day week. In the event of departure in the second half of the year, the holiday entitlement will be doubled, although the reduction will only take place to the extent that this does not comply with the legally prescribed Minimum leave is exceeded. Upon termination of the employment relationship, remaining holiday entitlements must be reduced within the notice period, as far as this is possible. The legal treatment of the leave is also based on the legal Regulations. § 7 Illness If the employee is unable to work as a result of illness through no fault of his own, he is entitled to continued payment of the work remuneration for a period of six weeks in accordance with the statutory provisions. The prevention of work must be notified to the employer immediately. If the incapacity for work lasts longer than three calendar days, the employee must present a medical certificate of existence and its expected duration no later than the working day following the third calendar day. This obligation to provide proof also applies after the end of the six weeks. The employer is entitled to request the presentation of the certificate of incapacity for work earlier. § 8 Duty of confidentiality The employee undertakes to maintain secrecy about all company and business secrets during the duration of the employment relationship and also after leaving. For each case of violation of this obligation, he undertakes to pay a contractual penalty in the amount of a gross monthly remuneration. The employer reserves the right to assert further damage. § 9 Secondary activity Any paid or secondary employment affecting the employment relationship is only permitted with the consent of the employer. § 10 Contractual penalty In the event that he does not enter into the employment relationship in accordance with the contract or terminates the employment relationship in breach of contract, the employee undertakes to pay the employer a contractual penalty in the amount of half a gross monthly remuneration for a breach of contract until the end of the probationary period and a gross monthly remuneration after the end of the probationary period. The employer's right to assert further claims for damages remains unaffected. During service and in the exercise of operational concerns, any consumption of alcohol is prohibited. During working hours and at the beginning of work, alcoholisation, page 2 [8/5, 10:45 PM] My brother 3: So also and especially the residual alcohol is not more than 0.0 per mille. The same applies to any journey with a company vehicle. Failure to comply with this regulation can lead to termination without notice as well as to a contractual penalty in the amount of the fixed remuneration applicable to the period of notice (cf. § 4 of this employment contract), but a maximum of a gross monthly salary. All the above regulations apply mutatis mutandis to drugs, medicines or comparable substances that can affect the employee's ability to work. § 11 Termination After the end of the trial period, the notice period is four weeks to the 15th or end of a calendar month. Any legal extension of the notice period in favour of the employee applies in the same way in favour of the employer. The termination must be in writing. Before the start of the employment relationship, termination is excluded. The employer is entitled to release the employee until the termination of the employment relationship. The exemption takes place taking into account the holiday entitlements to which the employee may still be entitled as well as any credit on the working time account. During the period of leave, the employee must have earnings earned by using his labour credited against the entitlement to remuneration vis-à-vis the employer. The employment relationship ends at the latest at the end of the month in which the employee has reached the statutory retirement age. § 12 Note on the reporting obligation in the event of unemployment The employer points out to the employee that in the event of termination of the employment relationship, he must register with the responsible employment agency no later than three months before the end of the employment relationship. If this notification is omitted or delayed, there may be disadvantages when receiving unemployment benefits. § 13 Expition/exclusion periods All claims arising from the employment relationship expire if they are not asserted in writing against the contractual partner within an exclusion period of three months after their due date and are sued within a further three months in the event of rejection by the contractual partner. This does not affect claims based on actions due to intent or gross negligence. The exclusion period does not apply to an employee's entitlement to the statutory minimum wage. On the other hand, the employee's remuneration claims exceeding the minimum wage are subject to the agreed exclusion period. § 14 Contract changes and ancillary agreements The pure one-sided behaviour of the employer does not give rise to any contractual legal claims for the employee, unless there is a written consensual amendment to the contract (exclusion of the operational exercise). Should individual provisions of this contract be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the rest of the contract. Page 3 [8/5, 10:46 PM] My brother 3: The employee undertakes to notify the employer immediately of changes in personal circumstances such as marital status, number of children and address. Ancillary agreements and changes to the contract require, in order to be legally effective, the Written form. § 16 Data collection, processing, use As part of this employment relationship, the employer collects, stores or otherwise processes and uses personal data. This serves the establishment, termination and implementation of the employment relationship, in particular the wage and salary booking as well as the personnel administration. For the aforementioned purposes, the data can also be transmitted to third parties (tax consultants, etc.). The employee hereby consents to the collection, processing and use as well as the transfer of his personal data within the framework described above. 03.07.2022 Signature, labour Employee signature |

Career / Re: My Banker Friend Quit His Job To Work In A Car Wash by InvertedHammer: 6:23pm On Aug 07, 2023 |
Battlefield2:/ Let's assume he makes N75,000/month gross. After deductions (15% = N11,200), his take home is N63,800 Working 20 days in a month == N63,800/20 = N3,190 per day. Subtract job-related expenses for the month (eg. transportation, clothing, etc) Then subtract job-related stress. If he can make N2,500 per day at the car wash, his life will be better off. He may need to find something else part-time to do when car wash business slows after 12noon. He should expand his skills to waxing, detailing and cleaning of foggy headlamps. With high resilience and avoidance of ladies like a plague, he may be better off after a year. Nothing is easy at the beginning. However, he should have done weekend car wash to have a feel of it before quitting his job. / |
