Employment & Labour Advice Built Around Your Matter

WKA Advocates advises employers and employees on contentious and non-contentious employment issues. A contract review, HR policy project, disciplinary process and court dispute need different instructions. Explain what happened, what decision you face and the outcome you want to discuss.

When Your Employer Has Not Paid You

Start with the agreed salary, periods worked and payments received. Keep payslips, bank records and relevant correspondence, then request clarification and payment in writing. A legal review can assess the evidence, available route and relevant deadlines.

Read the unpaid salary action guide.

Contracts, Fair Hearings and Termination

Workplace decisions need attention to both the reasons and the process. We can review employment terms, allegations, employee responses, hearing records and exit calculations. The advice should reflect the documents and applicable Kenyan legal framework.
