Medsaf, a Nigerian health tech business, laid off all of its full-time staff in March. Since the termination of their work, former workers of the firm have revealed that their pay and incentives have not been paid.
In regards to the laying off, Rotimi Lawal, Medsaf's Chief Operating Officer, sent to employees on the company Slack account, that the firm had to cut its employment due to “challenges ranging from funding gaps to account receivables due to different the macroeconomic policies and dismal payment behavior of hospitals in our industry.” This was what a source reported to TechCabal—it also added that around 30 employees were affected during the process.
Several employees acknowledged that they hadn't been paid since December 2022, at the time of Lawal's Slack statement. The corporation recognized the payment delays and offered to make up for them. “In the context of how work activity has fared so far this year, with the majority of the employees staying at home and doing little or no work, the Company will be paying full salary for December 2022 to those who I haven’t paid yet and half payments for January 2023 up till March 2023. These payments will be made to the staff’s bank account in the Month of April 2023,” Lawal stated in a Slack message.
