The Employment and Labour Relations Court in Nairobi has ordered land selling firm Topcare Lands Investment Limited to pay Ms. Lydia Wanjiku Githinji Ksh 800,000 as compensation for wrongful dismissal. According to court documents, Ms. Wanjiku told the court that she was verbally hired on January 3, 2022, as a General Manager with a monthly salary of Ksh 200,000. She said she worked until February 6, 2022, when she was suspended indefinitely without pay and without any explanation. Ms. Wanjiku testified that the suspension was communicated through a Short Message Service (SMS) sent by the company’s co-founder and CEO, James Macharia Gichane. In its defence, Topcare Lands Investment Limited denied offering Ms. Wanjiku formal employment, stating instead that she had been engaged on a probationary basis. The company also disputed claims that she had been suspended indefinitely without cause. However, in her ruling, Linnet Ndolo found in favour of Ms. Wanjiku and awarded her three months’ salary amounting to Ksh 600,000 as compensation. The judge noted that although the claimant had only worked for a short period, the company had acted unlawfully by prematurely ending the employment relationship. Justice Ndolo also cited the company’s failure to provide Ms. Wanjiku with a formal employment contract or a termination letter, and awarded her one month’s salary (Ksh 200,000) in lieu of notice. Claims for additional salary up to the time of termination and special damages were dismissed after the court found they had not been sufficiently proven. In the final judgment, the court awarded: Ksh 600,000 – three months’ salary as compensation Ksh 200,000 – one month’s salary in lieu of notice Bringing...
