Holding

The court found the termination and salary reduction unlawful and without proper legal process.

Facts

Claimant was employed as a Head Teacher by the 3rd Respondent, earning Kshs.22,000 per month. She was demoted and her salary reduced to Kshs.13,500 without notice or just cause. The claimant alleged this was unlawful.

Issues

  1. Employment contract changes
  2. Termination without notice or justification
  3. Review of employment terms
