LIST OF THINGS THAT MUST BE IN AN EMPLOYMENT LETTER/AGREEMENT.
Employment of any type in Nigeria must be in writing. There is no room for unwritten/oral employment agreement for any job/work/employment whatsoever, whether long time or short time and employment agreement must be communicated to an employee within 3 months of employment.
An employment letter or agreement must contain the following;
1. employer’s name,
2. employee’s name and address, place of work,
3. Nature of employment
4. If for fixed term, the date of expiration of employment, periods and manner of payment
5. salary/wage,
6. holidays and any sick pay
7. duration of employment and
8. needed notice for termination of employment.
Doing otherwise is an offence punishable with #800.00 for a first offender.
Note that, none of the above affects a worker that is father, mother, husband, wife or child of the employer or to any person working on an agreement for co-operation.
My authorities are sections 7, 21 and 22 of Labour Act, 1971.
