We get things done through other people, whether as individuals or as organisations. In the process, we are often called upon to hire and manage people. On the other hand, we may be the ones who are hired to provide our services to other individuals or organisations for pay. The legal framework which governs this relationship between employers and employees is what we call employment law. This law governs the rights and obligations of the employers and employees right from the point of recruitment to termination of employment. Below is the general ambit of employment law in Kenya:

Recruitment and employment contracts  Wages and Benefits  Management of employees  Working hours  Leave management  Sickness and sick-pay  Maternity and Paternity leave  Workplace discrimination  Discipline and grievance management  Employee safety  Termination   Retrenchment/Redundancy  Dismissal  Retirement  Employment disputes

At Adede and Company Advocates, we are at hand to provide our clients with comprehensive advisory and dispute resolution services in relation to employment.
