Maternity leave is 12 weeks paid leave (8 weeks before + 8 weeks after childbirth) for eligible female employees with minimum 6 months service.

If a provident fund is established, both employee and employer typically contribute 10% of base wage each. After 5+ years of service, employees are entitled to gratuity of 1 month's basic salary per completed year (or 45 days if over 10 years).

Minimum notice period is 120 days for employees with over 1 year of service. Termination must have legal grounds (misconduct, incapacity, redundancy). Retrenchment compensation may apply in some cases. Unlawful termination can result in financial penalties.

Companies that are profitable must contribute 1% of annual payroll into the Industrial Training Fund (ITF). This is a mandatory requirement under Nigeria labor law for profitable companies.
