Termination & Dismissal in Kenya

Review reasons, evidence, notice, hearing procedures and potential claims arising from the end of employment.

Unfair Termination and Dismissal in Kenya

Assess both the reason for ending employment and the process followed. Keep the termination letter, stated allegations, response, hearing records, policies and supporting evidence. An allegation is different from a proven reason, and a formal letter alone does not establish procedural fairness.

The Employment Act addresses explanation and hearing for specified termination grounds, proof of reasons and fairness. The applicable process and possible remedy require a review of the actual facts. Notice pay does not by itself answer every fairness question. Obtain advice promptly on deadlines, jurisdiction and the claim or defence.

Summary Dismissal in Kenya: Evidence and Procedure

Summary dismissal concerns ending employment without the usual notice in circumstances said to justify that step. Identify the precise conduct alleged, available evidence, applicable policy and employee response. Serious language in a notice should not replace a careful investigation.

Separate the alleged misconduct from the legal assessment and required procedure. Preserve original correspondence, witness accounts and hearing records. Employers should assess the decision before communicating it; employees should explain their response and record when the decision was received.

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.

Review the official WKA Employment & Labour practice and Employment Act on Kenya Law.
