Document background
The Employee Acknowledgement Statement is a critical document in Nigerian employment practice, designed to create a clear record of an employee's receipt and understanding of company policies, procedures, or other important documents. This document is typically used during onboarding, when new policies are introduced, or when significant updates are made to existing procedures. Under Nigerian employment law, particularly the Labour Act, employers must ensure that employees are properly informed of their rights, obligations, and company policies. The Employee Acknowledgement Statement helps demonstrate compliance with these requirements by documenting that the employee has received, read, and understood the relevant materials. It can cover various aspects including but not limited to code of conduct, safety procedures, confidentiality requirements, and workplace policies.
