On August 6, 2020, a Kenyan court made a significant ruling regarding the employment of house helps. According to the court, it is now illegal for employers to fire their house help without providing at least one month's notice.
This decision aims to protect the rights of house helps and ensure they receive fair treatment. The court's ruling is a significant step towards promoting employment fairness and respect for domestic workers.
Employers must now adhere to this new standard, providing their house help with adequate notice before terminating their employment. This change is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of many house helps in Kenya.
