Document background
This Termination Due To Abandonment Of Work document is essential for Nigerian employers dealing with situations where employees have ceased attending work without proper notification or authorization. It should be used when an employee has been absent without approval or communication for a period that constitutes abandonment under Nigerian labour law or company policy (typically 10 consecutive working days or more). The document serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the abandonment, details communication attempts, declares the termination, and addresses final settlements. It must comply with Nigerian Labour Act requirements, ensuring proper notice or payment in lieu of notice, and maintaining records for potential legal proceedings. The document is particularly crucial for protecting employer interests while demonstrating compliance with legal obligations and fair procedure requirements under Nigerian employment law.
