Reps to criminalise workers’ casualisation

The House of Representatives is considering criminalising employing workers on casual contracts beyond six months.

The House will also prohibit outsourcing to third parties, while any casual workers sacked by an employer after six months will be entitled to the benefits of full-time workers for six months.Speaking to our correspondent, the sponsor of the bill, Mr Olawale Raji, said the proposal was part of his efforts towards protecting workers in the country.

The proposed law states that failure by any employers to comply with Subsections 1 and 2 will constitute an offence, which will attract a two-year sentence, N2m fine or both.
