Justice Nelson Ogbuanya of the National Industrial Court, Lagos, has shed light on the fact that an employee who works for certain days in a month is entitled to a full remuneration for the said month as there is no fractional payment in a periodic employment.
His Lordship delivered a judgment in suit number: NICN/166/2015, in favour of the erstwhile Human Resources Manager of Equinox Int’l Resources Ltd (Defendant), Mr. Abe Adewunmi as against the company and from the judgment, it can be adduced that, even where an employee worked for a number of days in a certain month and his employment is however terminated within the new month, he is entitled to his full remuneration for the said month and not a fraction for the number of days worked.
The Honourable Court had relied on the case of Grant Mpanugo v. CAT Construction Nig. Ltd & Anor. (Suit No. NICN/LA/660/2015, Judgment delivered on the 20th day of September, 2019, in reviewing the principle underpinning payment of salary in periodic employment and came to the conclusion that “pro rata payment of salary is not applicable to workers in periodic employment, but only applicable to daily paid workers.
It was reasoned that pro rata/fractional payment of salary is not applicable to workers in periodic employment who receive salary per calendar month; not calculated by the number of days, otherwise, there will be no equal salary monthly per year, given that the twelve months of a year do not have equal days, particularly the month of February, with days as low as 28 or 29 days.
I adopt the same reasoning. Consequently, in my considered view, in a periodic employment of this kind, an employer who decides to terminate an employee within a new month is liable to pay for full salary of that exit month and not fraction of the days the employee worked in the month.”
The Court had duly pronounced that monthly salaries are not calculated by the number of days worked, otherwise, there would be no equal salary given that the 12 (Twelve) months of a year are not of equal days, especially February.
In conclusion of the issue, the Court held thus: “On that note, the Claimant is entitled to payment of his full salary in the month of September 2012 – the last month of his employment before his exit by way of the termination on 7th September 2012,”
Thus, on the authority of the above, an employee who works for certain days in a month is entitled to a full remuneration for the said month as there is no fractional payment in a periodic employment. Employees thus now have no worries as to whatever period of the month their termination may be given.
