Tana v Asmara Entertainment Limited t/a Asmara Restaurant

Tana v Asmara Entertainment Limited t/a Asmara Restaurant [2025] KEELRC 2029 (KLR)

Court
Employment and Labour Relations Court
Case number
Employment and Labour Relations Appeal E234 of 2024
Judge
JW Keli

The court found that the only issue for determination was whether the trial court erred in its findings on terminal dues. Upon re-evaluation, the court held that the appellant failed to prove entitlement to accrued leave pay, as leave records were produced and admitted without challenge. Service pay was not available due to NSSF deductions, as confirmed by unchallenged testimony. The appellant's claims for overtime and public holidays were not sufficiently particularised or proven, and the overtime claim was statute-barred as a continuing injury not filed within 12 months of resignation.

Maina v Hakika Transport Services Limited [2025] KEELRC 1926 (KLR)

Court
Employment and Labour Relations Court
Case number
Appeal E170 of 2024
Judge
M Mbarũ

The court found that the respondent followed due process in terminating the appellant's employment. The appellant was issued a notice to show cause, attended a disciplinary hearing, and was given an opportunity to respond to the allegations. The evidence established that the appellant was responsible for negligence leading to financial loss, justifying summary dismissal. Claims for compensation, notice pay, service pay, public holiday pay, overtime, house allowance, and underpayment were either unsubstantiated, already settled, or not due under the law. The trial court's findings were upheld,…

Court
Employment and Labour Relations Court
Case number
Employment and Labour Relations Appeal E119 of 2024
Judge
JW Keli

The appellate court found that the respondent's salary of Kshs. 18,000 was above the statutory minimum wage and, in the absence of clear evidence to the contrary, was deemed consolidated and inclusive of house allowance. The trial court erred in awarding house allowance as the respondent did not specifically plead or prove that her salary was exclusive of such allowance. Regarding the cross-appeal, the court held that claims for overtime, public holidays, and rest days were not specifically pleaded or strictly proved, and the employer's failure to produce records did not relieve the employee…
