Important Contents Of Your Contract, Employment Letter Before You Sign

By: Mr and Mrs AG on 08:00:00 / comment : 0 employment, jobs

Most newly graduates are happy to get their first job but what they do not know is that your signature on any contract you sign is binding. After signing, your employer to some extent is not obligated to do beyond what is stated there and you are also bound by the rules, regulations and expectations of its content.

Most times, you will be asked to go home with the letter so that you can digest the content to see if it is something you are interested in and if you are satisfied with the remuneration, benefits, plans and other things. The first red flag for any suspicious contract or appointment letter is when you are asked to sign immediately without the benefit to read it contents properly.

So when next you are signing an appointment letter, the following are the contents you should look out for:

1. Offer of employment
There must be a formal letter written in your name from the CEO, MD or as required by the organization and signed accordingly.

2. Duties and Responsibilities
Your duties and responsibilities must be duly spelt out. Have you seen where people are employed as an accountant and you end up washing cars? That is what happens when your duties are not specified.

3. Hours of work
Resumption time and closing time must be specified.

4. Probation period
There must be an express explanation of how it works. How many months, days, weeks or years you are expected to be on probation before you are confirmed. If the company is hiring you without putting you on probation then it is possible this may not be found on your letter. At this point, you may have to ask your team leader.

5. Contract termination
The organization reserves the right to terminate your appointment and you also reserve the right to do same. Standard practice requires you to give a 30 days notice and it requires your employer to give a 30 days notice in the event they want to lay you off.

This must be explained in the letter.
a. The procedure.
b. The benefits.
c. The claims amongst others.

6. Remuneration
Your salary must be clearly stated without ambiguity and complexity. It must be clear and written in figures and words.

7. Leave

This comprises of;
a. Annual leave.
b. Casual leave.
c. Sick leave and they must all be clarified and specified.
d. Sometimes paternity and maternity leave.

8. Entitlements
You can read here Employee Rights, Entitlement Under Labor Laws:

9. Employee obligations
Some letters may not have this and some may have them.

This section will talk about secrecy, your responsibility to keep information safe and the need for you to be aware that whatever you do, use, write, create etc while on duty is companies property.

8. References affirmation
This will lay a claim on the fact that all the information given were right and not false.

This list is not universal and what is used in company A might be different in company B as well as in different nations but generally, the above will guide you before you sign that new appointment letter.

If nothing is clear, kindly ask your manager, your HR person or your team leader.

The Government, Banks and Media will not employ you if MMM crashes - participant

By: Mr and Mrs AG on 04:51:00 / comment : 0 employment, Investment, MMM, ponzi scheme

An MMM participant has reached out to fellow members of the scheme, in an open letter he shared on Facebook.
Read below:

SIMPLE TRUTH 

“The media won’t employ you if you join to kill MMM. The bank will also not, and the government as well. If they employ you, they will make you a servant of money. You will be enslaved once again. 

“MMM has been working to liberate those in it from financial slavery. We all survived last year’s recession because of MMM. When the government made things difficult for us. 

“The bank didn’t help you to survive. There was never increase to your deposit, same as the media who laid off staff and also banks that sacked without reason. The Bank will rather extort money from you with charges that you can not refuse to pay… 

“My fellow mavrodian, see how unjust the world is! We are been cruel and impatient with MMM. For the upgrade they want to effect for a better system in 2017. 

“Go back home and look through your bank statements. All the deposit received last year in your account…Am sure if you have been in MMM for while, you will understand that MMM deposit has 90% of it… Let’s be wise friends and beloved.

“Since 1999 we have been hearing promises on good governance in the middle of the atlantic ocean never come nearer to you because you can’t swim the ocean…Government keep playing our intelligent in the name of democracy. Now you have a platform to give you a lift to better life…You want to kill it with your own hand….People be calm…Like as I said everyone will be settled completely…

“MMM is real.. MMM will still pay us in 2017. Encourage those you know to pay their order.

“Me & You are the real MMM….”
