Policy Owner: Ignition633 Ministries Nigeria Human Resources
Policy Name: Employee Benefits Policy
Origination Date: August 2025
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to outline the additional benefits provided to employees of Ignition633 Ministries beyond their monthly pay. These benefits are designed to promote the well-being, financial security, and overall satisfaction of employees while supporting them in times of need.
Scope
This policy applies to all employees of Ignition633 Ministries who have successfully completed their 90-day trial period. It governs the provision of employee benefits, including monthly pay procedures, healthcare assistance, workers’ compensation, time-off entitlements, and the savings program.
Attendance Policy
Employees are to be timely! Please ensure you are present and seated in your duty position by your designated clock-in time provided by your supervisor. In addition, please take a look at the following policies and expectations regarding your attendance.
Late/Absence
Inform your supervisor before the start of the workday if you will be absent or late and obtain their permission to leave work early. Absences and late arrivals will be recorded and may impact your pay. You will be written up if you do not show up for your shift or are late without contacting your supervisor. If this problem persists, you will be subject to corrective action and possible termination. Failing to call one's supervisor or report to work for two consecutive workdays will be considered voluntary resignation and result in removal from payroll.
Request Time Off
If you want to take time off, request it two weeks in advance. To submit a request, ask HR for a time off request form, fill it out, and return it to your supervisor to review and approve. Supervisors do obtain the right to deny your request. For employees who have completed their trial period, we offer various types of paid time off according to the time you have worked for our organization.
Time Off
All time-off requests must be made at least two weeks in advance. Supervisors can deny your request and provide alternative dates for your absence.
Paid Holiday Time
We offer six days of holiday pay for employees that have worked for our organization for more than 12 months that may be used by the employee for a pre-planned and approved holiday vacation period. The Ministry may also close for certain holidays.
Paid Sick Time
Employees will receive up to 12 sick days a year. For a sick day to be used, the employee must submit a medical report or a note from a government hospital stating their recommendation to remain home from work. If an employee can not obtain this, he/she should be willing to be assessed by our campus doctor to confirm sick condition or inability to work.
Paid Personal Time
Employees will receive one personal day per 3 months of employment, making four personal days per year. The employee may use this paid time off for a pre-planned and approved personal day off. Unauthorized absence from duty will result in no pay.
Paid Maternity Leave
Women will receive six weeks off of work before and after birth. They will be given 50% of their usual salary during this time. Please inform your supervisor and complete a time-off request eight weeks before your baby is due.
Unpaid Paternity Leave
Men will receive two weeks off of work before or after birth of their child. This is not a paid time off. Please inform your supervisor and complete a time-off request eight weeks before your baby is due.
If you have any questions about your department's bonus and overtime policy, please get in touch with your supervisor or HR.
