I have received sack treaths from my superior, so I unwillingly resigned to avoid a sack history in my career. Do I have right to sue or be protected?

I'm sorry to hear about the difficult situation you've faced at work.

In Nigeria, employees have rights and protections under labor laws, even if they resign under pressure. Here are some steps you can consider:

Document Everything: Collect any evidence of the threats from your superior, such as emails, text messages, or witness statements.

When we look at the facts, we can help you determine if you have grounds for a constructive dismissal claim. Constructive dismissal occurs when an employee resigns due to the employer creating a hostile work environment.

Review Your Employment Contract: Your contract and company policies might have specific provisions regarding resignation and dismissal.

If it’s determined that your resignation was coerced, you may have the right to sue for wrongful termination or harassment.

Please contact our office to schedule a consultation. We are committed to helping you understand your rights and pursue any necessary legal action.------ 1st Attorneys - Call: +234706 508 0672 Email: info@1stattorneys.com
