Frequently Asked Questions
Notice requirements vary based on the employee's length of service, position, and contract terms. Generally, one month's notice is required for most employees, but senior employees may require longer notice periods. We help ensure proper termination procedures are followed to avoid wrongful dismissal claims.
Non-compete clauses are generally enforceable if they are reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic area, and protect legitimate business interests. However, they must be carefully drafted to comply with Nigerian law. We help draft enforceable restrictive covenants that protect your business interests.
Employers must provide a safe working environment, conduct risk assessments, provide safety training, maintain safety equipment, and comply with occupational health and safety regulations. We help develop comprehensive safety compliance programs and ensure adherence to all applicable standards.
Effective grievance procedures should be clearly documented, consistently applied, and provide multiple levels of review. We help establish fair and legally compliant grievance procedures and provide support in resolving workplace disputes before they escalate to litigation.
