Holding

Claimant is entitled to leave pay earned and not taken up to 6th December 2018, salary up to December 6th, and monthly transport allowance. Commission is not awarded.

Facts

Claimant Ndege was employed as an area sales manager from January 4, 2005, to October 6, 2018. He resigned on October 6, 2018, and claimed unpaid leave pay, salary, commission, and monthly transport allowance.

Issues

  1. Is claimant entitled to leave pay earned and not taken up to 6th December 2018?
  2. Should claimant be paid his salary of up to 6th December 2018?
  3. Is claimant entitled to unpaid commission up to December 2012?
  4. Is he entitled to monthly transport allowance amounting to kshs 76,500/-?
  5. Should he be awarded costs of this suit.

Reasoning

The court ruled that the employer waived the notice period, so the claimant is entitled to salary and leave pay until December 6th. Commission claims are not supported by evidence.

Outcome

Claimant's claims for leave pay, salary, and transport allowance are upheld, but commission is not awarded.
