Frequently asked questions
Does the Labour Act cover me?
Only if you are a "worker" — manual or non-executive clerical staff. Administrative, executive, technical and professional roles are excluded from most provisions, and their terms come from contract and NICN case law.
How much annual leave am I entitled to?
Six working days after 12 months of continuous service under Section 18, though most formal employers offer considerably more by contract.
Can my employer make me forfeit unused leave?
A blanket use-it-or-lose-it policy is legally precarious. If you were operationally prevented from taking leave, you retain the right to its cash equivalent at termination.
How much goes into my pension?
A minimum of 18%: 10% from the employer and 8% from you, calculated on basic salary plus housing and transport allowances.
What changed in PAYE for 2026?
Employees earning NGN 800,000 per year or less are fully exempt under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025, and the Consolidated Relief Allowance was replaced with a Rent Relief.
Is NHF still compulsory?
Private sector employees are now excluded from compulsory compliance — participation is voluntary.
Do I pay for NSITF?
No. NSITF covers workplace injury compensation and the employer contributes 1% of monthly payroll.
How long is maternity leave?
Twelve weeks under Section 54, with at least six after confinement and at least 50% of normal wages if employed six months or more.
Where do I take an employment dispute?
The National Industrial Court of Nigeria, which has exclusive jurisdiction over labour and employment matters.
Is Saplic free to use?
Yes. Creating your profile, searching for jobs and applying costs nothing, now or later. There is no app to install either.
