Employment Contracts
Employment Contracts
Employment contracts form the backbone of every employer-employee relationship. We ensure that your employment agreements are detailed, legally sound, and protect both parties. Whether you are hiring or restructuring your workforce, we can draft, review, and negotiate employment contracts, ensuring they comply with the Employment Act, 2007, and other applicable laws.
Employee Termination and Unfair Dismissal
The termination of employment must be handled delicately to avoid legal disputes. We guide employers on the lawful procedures for dismissing employees, from issuing warning letters to managing unfair dismissal claims. Employees who believe they were wrongfully terminated can also seek our services to explore legal remedies.
Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Claims
Workplace discrimination and harassment claims can lead to costly litigation if not addressed properly. Our team helps employers implement anti-discrimination policies and handles cases of harassment or discrimination based on race, gender, disability, or any other protected category under the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. We also represent employees seeking justice for unfair treatment at work, ensuring their rights are upheld.
Workplace Health and Safety Compliance
Ensuring a safe working environment is critical for both employers and employees. We assist businesses in complying with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) by conducting audits, advising on policy formulation, and handling claims arising from workplace injuries or unsafe conditions. Our goal is to help you prevent workplace accidents while complying with legal requirements, minimizing the risk of litigation.
Redundancy and Restructuring Management
When businesses face financial constraints or need to downsize, redundancy becomes inevitable. However, the process must be conducted fairly and lawfully. We assist employers in managing the redundancy process, ensuring they meet statutory requirements, such as providing severance pay and notice periods. Our team also represents employees in redundancy disputes, helping them secure rightful compensation.
Workplace Policies and Employee Handbooks
A well-crafted employee handbook or workplace policy manual is essential for setting the tone of your workplace and managing expectations. We help businesses draft comprehensive workplace policies that cover key areas such as leave entitlements, disciplinary procedures, anti-harassment, and more. Our policies are designed to reduce misunderstandings, foster a positive work environment, and ensure compliance with Kenyan law.
Employee Benefits and Compensation Claims
Employees are entitled to a range of benefits under the law, including paid leave, pensions, and health insurance. Our legal team helps employers navigate these obligations and ensure compliance with statutory requirements. We also assist employees in filing compensation claims for unpaid wages, benefits, and other entitlements, ensuring they receive what is legally due to them.
Trade Union Relations
Managing relationships with trade unions requires experience and knowledge of collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) and the Labour Relations Act. We help businesses negotiate and implement CBAs and handle disputes with unions to avoid industrial actions.
Immigration & Work Permits
For businesses employing expatriates, we provide advice on immigration law and assist with obtaining work permits. Compliance with immigration rules is essential to avoid penalties and business disruptions.
