Frequently asked questions
When does severance apply in Kenya?
Only in cases of redundancy under Section 40 of the Employment Act 2007. It does not apply to misconduct, resignation or poor performance.
How is severance calculated?
Fifteen days of basic wages for each completed year of service — monthly salary divided by 30, times 15, times years worked.
What must my employer do before making me redundant?
Notify you and the County Labour Officer 30 days in advance, apply fair selection criteria, give one month’s notice or pay in lieu, and pay severance.
What is the right to disconnect?
From 2026, you are not legally obliged to respond to work communications outside official working hours unless it is a defined emergency.
What replaced NHIF?
The Social Health Insurance Fund, at 2.75% of gross monthly income with a KES 300 minimum, remitted by the 9th of the following month.
What changed with NSSF in 2026?
Year 4 began in February 2026, with a lower earnings limit of KSh 9,000 and an upper limit of KSh 108,000.
Do I get service pay?
Not if you belong to NSSF, a registered pension fund, or a gratuity scheme under a collective agreement. For most formally employed Kenyans it does not arise.
How long do I have to complain about unfair termination?
Sixty days from termination, at the Labour Office.
Can my statutory rights be waived?
No. Minimum notice, severance and leave cannot be waived by agreement regardless of what a contract says.
Is Saplic free to use?
Yes. Creating your profile, searching for jobs and applying costs nothing, now or later. There is no app to install either.
