Holding

The claimant is entitled to a sum of Kshs.110,953.10 and a certificate of service from the respondents. The respondents are ordered to pay part of the claimant's costs of the suit.

Facts

The claimant was employed as a house-help from 08.05.2010 to 30.09.2014. She filed a memorandum of claim for various rights violations and other relief.

Issues

  2. Whether the claimant is entitled to leave pay
  3. Whether the claimant is entitled to a certificate of service
  4. Whether the claimant is entitled to underpayment compensation
  5. Whether the claimant is entitled to resignation notice compensation
  6. Whether the claimant is entitled to medical expenses compensation

Reasoning

The court found that the claimant did not work overtime and was not entitled to leave pay. The claimant was entitled to a certificate of service and underpayment compensation.
