Special Assistant to the Cross River State Governor on Strategic Communication, Andrea Ekeng Inyang, has disclosed how typical Calabar business owners deduct their workers' salaries.
He also stated that if a worker complains and leaves the job, they might get a worse employer.
"A typical Calabar businessman/woman will employ you with a promise of 35k salary per month but you end up collecting only 12k," he wrote on Friday, June 3.
The large fraction is a compulsory deduction and it looks like this.
Tax = N2,650
Madam’s mother’s burial levy = N3,000
Lateness = N4,550
Stubbornness/disobedience = N3,800
Insulting a customer = N2,250
Using phone at work = N3,600
Wearing rumpled clothes to work = N3,150
Total =N23,000
If you complain too much and leave, you’ll go and jam the one that will promise you 50k and owe you for 6months.
Just do peem, you hear ween!''
