TypeReview of Employment and Labour Relations Court JudgmentPostureClaimants seek review of judgment awarding compensation for unfair termination and underpaymentCoramOngaya
The court declines to review the judgment but computes and orders the compensation based on the salaries proved in court

Facts

The claimants were employed by the respondent on a commission basis, and the respondent terminated their employment. The claimants sought compensation for underpayment, overtime, public holidays, and Saturdays.

Issues

  • whether the court's findings on employment status and compensation were supported by evidence
  • the appropriate method for calculating compensation for underpayment

Reasoning

The court found that the claimants did not provide evidence to support their claim of underpayment, and proceeding with the review would fundamentally alter the trial court's findings.

Outcome

The court orders the respondent to pay the claimants the computed compensation

Orders

  • The respondent to pay the 2nd claimant Kshs 133,629/30
