Employment Law FAQs Kenya
Answers about unpaid salary, fair hearings, employment contracts, termination and contacting WKA Advocates for Kenyan employment and labour advice.
What should I do if my employer does not pay me?
Prepare a salary schedule, keep payment records and request an explanation and payment date in writing. Obtain advice on the evidence, appropriate complaint or claim route and deadlines.
Does paying notice resolve every termination issue?
Notice and procedural fairness are separate questions. Review the reason, applicable hearing requirements, contract and supporting records.
Can WKA advise both employers and employees?
WKA handles employer and employee enquiries, subject to an assessment of the matter and conflicts before accepting instructions.
Is compensation for unfair dismissal automatic?
No. Liability, eligibility and remedies depend on the law, evidence and determination or settlement of the matter.
How do I check an advocate practising status?
Use the Law Society of Kenya advocate directory and identify the advocate who will handle your matter.
What documents should I bring?
Bring the contract, payslips, relevant policies, notices, correspondence and a dated summary. Ask about secure transfer before sending sensitive records.
