Holding

The Court awards the claimant overtime dues, public holidays worked, and costs of the suit. The claimant is also awarded a certificate of service.

Facts

Claimant Joseph Kibet Samoei alleged he was employed by Respondent Klique Hotel Ltd as Head of Security from October 1, 2002. He resigned on April 1, 2016, but the Respondent did not pay his terminal dues. Claimant claimed service pay, overtime, public holidays worked, and house allowance.

Issues

  1. Whether the Respondent terminated the claimant's service
  2. Whether the claimant voluntarily resigned
  3. Whether the claimant was entitled to service pay, overtime, public holidays worked, and house allowance

Reasoning
