Redundancy & Restructuring in Kenya
Plan operational changes, review selection and consultation records, and assess redundancy procedures and entitlements.
Redundancy Procedure in Kenya
A genuine operational change should be documented separately from concerns about an individual employee conduct. Identify the business reason, affected roles, proposed selection criteria and relevant employee or union arrangements. Plan the process before issuing final decisions.
Section 40 of the Employment Act contains requirements relevant to redundancy, including notifications and entitlements. The right steps depend on the affected employees and circumstances. Review the applicable notices, selection record, accrued leave, notice and severance calculations before implementation.
Redundancy Selection and Consultation Records in Kenya
Explain which roles are affected, the selection pool and the criteria proposed. Maintain records showing how criteria were applied consistently and which representations were considered. A restructuring chart alone may not explain why a particular employee was selected.
Review the contract, collective arrangements and relevant statutory requirements alongside the operational evidence. Employees should ask for the stated reason and retain notices and correspondence. Employers should distinguish consultation records from a predetermined outcome and review unresolved questions before proceeding.
Prepare Your Legal Instructions
Bring the contract, policy versions, correspondence and a chronology of material events. Identify any imminent hearing, payment or filing deadline. Explain what remains disputed and the outcome you want to consider.
