Employment & Labour Disputes

Understanding Employment Disputes

Employment disputes can arise from various issues in the workplace. These disputes often involve conflicts between employers and employees. Such issues can range from wrongful termination to unfair labor practices. In Kenya, employment disputes are governed by the Employment Act, 2007. This act provides a framework for resolving these conflicts. At Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates, we specialize in handling employment disputes.
