FAQ

Labour Law Compliance in Kenya: Frequently Asked Questions

Which law governs employment in Kenya?
The Employment Act 2007 is the primary statute, alongside the Labour Relations Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and statutory schemes for PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and the Housing Levy.
Is at-will employment allowed in Kenya?
No. Termination requires a valid reason and a fair procedure. Dismissing an employee without both is the most common cause of successful unfair-dismissal claims.
How often does labour law change?
Statutory rates and schemes change regularly, the move from NHIF to SHIF and the Housing Levy are recent examples. We keep your contracts and practice current.
Can you represent us in a dispute?
We provide expert HR guidance and can work alongside your legal advisers on disputes, investigations and restructuring to keep your process fair and defensible.
