Facts
The claimant, Charles Nguma Maina, was employed as a driver by Riley Services Limited from March 1, 2001, until he resigned voluntarily on November 3, 2008. He was entitled to overtime pay and other benefits, but did not seek payment of any terminal benefits until after his resignation.
Issues
- Whether the claimant is entitled to payment of terminal benefits including service pay, overtime for 7 years (weekdays), overtime for 7 years (Saturdays), and overtime for 7 years (Public Holidays)
Reasoning
The court dismissed the claim for terminal benefits due to lack of evidence regarding the days of overtime worked and unpaid, and the claimant's registration with the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) rendered service pay untenable.
