are communicated to the People Management department ahead of time one (1) month upon joining the Organisation so staff in Nigeria and other African countries are made aware that such employee(s) won’t be working and would be observing a national holiday. This would enable other employees to better structure their work-related needs from employees expected to be on leave so as to not delay the execution of their tasks. Employees not observing a public holiday are expected to work in line with the Organisations resumption time as stated in their employment contracts. Holidays falling during an employee’s leave period except for maternity leave will be considered holidays and not leave days. If an employee is required to work on a holiday due to pre-scheduled training, or meetings with host country officials on travel status, s/he is entitled to take that holiday at another time within the same calendar year subject to supervisor approval.
NB: No holiday will be paid while the employee is on unpaid leave.
3.5 Timesheet and Timekeeping
AfriLabs is committed to maintaining accurate attendance records in line with organizational needs and funder requirements. While no formal time-tracking tools or timesheets are currently in use, employees are expected to adhere to agreed working hours across all work arrangements—physical, remote, or hybrid. Supervisors are responsible for monitoring attendance and ensuring team accountability. Any misrepresentation of attendance is prohibited and may lead to disciplinary action. AfriLabs plans to implement a standardized attendance tracking system in the future. This policy will be updated accordingly.
For current practice on attendance, please please refer to the Attendance Policy.
