It is no longer news that Nigerian government just passed the bill to increase minimum wage from N18, 000 to N30, 000.

I'm currently employed in one of our country's ministry agency 2yrs ago at level 8 on a salary of about N121, 000 per month.

My fellow nairalanders please help me to understand the modalities in the calculations and how the minimum wage increment is going to affect my current salary..

It’s very likely a parastatal.

Ministry paying 120k for level 8? l doubt it!

rottennaija:

Which ministry is that in Nigeria that will pay you 120k for level 8? No Ministry, Agency pay that much

maynation:



How much do you think we level 8 workers are being paid then?

Opono ayerada.

rottennaija:


Between 50k and 60k

respect80:


You're right about the agencies under ministry of interior but I haven't seen any civil defense, immigration, prison or fire officer at level 8 step 2 receiving up to 120k.
Perhaps 120k or 123k is stated in the appointment letter but what gets to you at the end of the month is roughly between 115k and 119k at most but never upto 120k for any level 8 step 2.

You are sick.
Where I work,
LEVEL 7 EARNS 67K.
BSC LEVEL 8 EARNS 121 K.


Stop saying what you don't know.

I am so sorry my friend for the response of our brothers and sisters, it is quite unfortunate people would rather speak ill than just walk away from a conversation they are not conversant with. Let me see if i can help you. sorry it might be lengthy;

1. Salary review and minimum wage are two different things, although they are carried out simultaneously
2. Minimum wage is the minimum a worker must be paid according to the law. Government is suppose to review the minimum wage every 5years taking into consideration inflation, cost of living,etc
3. Therefore, as you increase the minimum wage, you must review the salary of those who earn above the minimum wage, otherwise, you will be cheating them
4. What the government has signed into law is a 'minimum wage' of 30,000 naira. A 66.7% increment from the initial 18,000.
5. That doesn't mean workers like you get 66.7 % increment, because you earn way above the minimum wage.
6. What government and labour is now haggling is what percentage people like you will earn.
7. The increment is not always the same across board... Take below for example;

Level 8 - Level 10 = 20%
Level 11 - Level 14 = 15%
Level 15 Level 17 = 10%

Note: These are estimates, they are not the actual figures. What the government has confirmed as of today is;
Level 1 - Level 7 = 66.7%
And i understand this is being paid already

8 Therefore, if it goes just as presumed above, you will get an increment of 20% which amounts to 145,200 per month, taking into consideration your current pay.

9. Situation as at today; government has started paying level 1 - level 7 an increment of 66.7%,, but labour and government are yet to decide on what percentage those above level 7 will earn.

10. The next meeting is to hold on the 15th of october, and if there is no resolution, Labour has vowed to embark on a strike from the 17th of october

I hope you will find this helpful and i hope u guys get a reasonable increment......

All the best

To Find your Salary;

Salary=121,000×8÷2=18,000

Therefore 18,000-30,000÷2/8

salary × minimum wage + Govt =7.6577

Therefore: go and ask your boss your salary Idi ot.


Bros, who train your bad mouth abeg?!!! Lol.
I was equally carried away by your equations.

Hahahahhahahaha! Pray for forgiveness kowai! U finish the dude like Anthony Joshua.

Enigmaticprof:
I smell lies!

ibechris:
U are not a govt officer,how can u be working in ministry agency...?u are a born liar. And to cap it all,no individual in any parastatal or agency will be given minimum wage because by general estimation,they are already earning the proposed minimum wage.

[s] Why do you people like posting trash and what you have no idea of? [/s]

I swear before man and God, I am level 8 and my take home is 121k. In one if the ministries you listed there. I don't have to reveal much.

UcLloyd:


Labour will never agree to 11% increment. They already rejected it. Op is most likely in the paramilitary, so after risking his life to keep others safe, u will coman give him paltry 11%, for what!!!

Donpenny:
pls don't get this twisted. If I may ask are you working with any of the agencies under ministry of interior?
