Ideas That Move Your People Forward

Written contracts: Every employee must have a written contract of service. Verbal agreements are legally insufficient and create significant exposure in dispute situations.
Statutory deductions: NSSF, NHIF (now SHIF under the Social Health Insurance Fund), and PAYE must be deducted and remitted correctly and on time. Penalties for non-compliance are substantial.
Leave entitlements: Annual leave (21 working days after 12 months), sick leave, maternity leave (3 months), and paternity leave (2 weeks) are statutory minimums — not discretionary benefits.
Termination procedures: Unlawful termination claims are among the most common causes of labor disputes. Notice periods, disciplinary procedures, and documentation requirements must all be followed.
