Workplace Legalities

Navigating the Employment Act

Kenya’s labor laws are dynamic and strictly enforced. For employers, a single procedural error in termination can result in damages equivalent to 12 months' pay. For employees, knowing your rights is the first step to securing fair treatment.

Mutea Muthuri & Associates acts as a strategic partner to HR departments and a fierce advocate for aggrieved workers. We handle everything from drafting compliant HR policy manuals to litigating unfair dismissal suits in the Employment and Labor Relations Court.
