A security company has been ordered to compensate seven people it dismissed in 2016 for allegedly participating in a protest and absenteeism. The Employment and Labour Relations Court in Nairobi ruled that Lavington Security Limited's termination of their contracts was invalid and unfair. The compensation ranges from Sh52,200 to Sh74,466 based on the 2016 schedule of wages on payslips or pay advice. The court, in the event, awards each of the seven grievants the equivalent of six months gross wages as compensation,” the judge ruled. The reasons for their dismissal was their demand for delayed August 2016 wages and the company's unfair labour practices, the witness stated.
