For a business like supermarket, the employees can resume work around 4pm.


Or they can rotate the Holliday.

If it's 1 day holiday, some come in the morning and like by 12. Some come by 12 and leave by 6pm.
Another come by ......


Omo e no work o.



Ok how about another idea?

Since we have like 20 Holliday days in a year, they can rotate it. Some for new years day, the next set for Muslim holiday, the next for children's day etc.


And ofcos for the religious holidays, christians Shud sub for Muslims and vice versa.


Na wetin I fit reason for now be that, I want ho chop.

Well, in developed nations, it is optional and comes with extra pay.

Can't say the same here in Nigeria... Most places, it is compulsory!

Nilon:

Not giving public holidays to employees are rampant nowadays especially private companies like supermarkets, fuel stations, E-commerce etc. Working from Monday to Saturday/Sunday and when everybody is at home for the holidays, you don't have any choice than to still go to work. Is this slavery or we don't have good leadership to fight for their people.

Angelfrost:


That's because there are no well enforced labor laws to protect the rights of workers in Nigeria!


This ought to form the key roles and responsibilities of the Legislative arm of our government... But, they would rather collect millions to sit, sleep, and approve stupid loans!

Yes

If the firm forces her workers to work on public holidays without paying them overtime allowances, then that's slavery.
All businesses can't shutdown during public holidays, the economy may crumble. Imagine all hospitals and Pharmacies going on public holidays¿
Anyways, Nigerian government need to set up a board to regulate and checkmate businesses run by Lebanese, Indians, Koreans, and Chinese. Those foreigners often treat their Nigerian workers like low budget slaves, yet pay them peanuts as salary. It's like they studied how to be modern day slave masters in their countries and passed with distinctions.
The worst part is that they even force their Nigerian workers to call them "Master".

Stop this nonsense,there are some section of economy that provides essential service they never close anywhere in the world and the list of service providers the posters mentioned falls under them
Find another job if you think its slavery, a nation can not move forward if essential services providers does not open 24/7

MrBrownJay1:
it all depends on A) what kind of business you are in (many businesses are open on public holiday thus no public holidays for their staff) and/or B) the type of contract you signed. you had a choice and you decided to agree to work on public holidays, so why complain now?! C) how can it be slavery when you are allowed to quit when ever you desire? if you dont like the job, then go get a job that you desire, et voila!

Even though we are aware that certain companies are built to run 7 days a week or around-the-clock for 24/7, at the very least, compensate your staff with extra pay for working on holidays by giving them overtime pay.

Private companies do not have to follow public holidays that are majorly built around public or civil servants.

The companies you listed are ALL service industry companies. The cannot go on holiday or close their doors. Even during these holidays, people patronise and increase demand for the services of these companies. So if the workers are giving holidays, then what happens.

They have shifts (Days on and Days Off} to cater for weekend and holidays.

Everything is not about fighting for the people. Leadership is not about FIGHT and PROTEST always

If you don't want to work weekends or during holidays, I suggest you find employment in industries or companies STRICTLY that do M-F / 9-5.

Nobody forced you to take a job at where you work. You can easily resign as you easily applied for a job there.

DeOTR:

I understand his plights.
Me personally, I can't work in a company without structures for time-offs, public holidays, sick leaves and due compensations for overtime when applicable.
Funny enough, it's organizations that don't pay well that would want to over work their staff.

unmask:
It is slavery because most companies exploit our lax labour laws to get their workers to do more
