POOR PERFORMANCE AS A GROUND FOR TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT | EMPLOYMENT & LABOUR LAW WEBINAR

Can an employer in Kenya lawfully dismiss an employee for poor performance? Yes, but the burden of proof lies heavily on the employer, and the courts expect both a valid reason and a fair procedure. In this webinar, Njogu & Associates Advocates LLP looks at the test the courts apply, the process employers must follow, and lessons from recent decisions of the Employment and Labour Relations Court and the Court of Appeal. We cover: ✔️ How the courts have defined poor performance ✔️ Why the burden of proof rests on the employer ✔️ Setting performance standards: contracts, job descriptions, targets and KPIs ✔️ Informing the employee and giving a reasonable opportunity to improve ✔️ Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) and why they must run their full course ✔️ Fair hearing under Section 41 of the Employment Act, and following internal HR procedures ✔️ Case law in three scenarios: upheld, unlawful, and failed on other grounds ✔️ An employer's checklist before terminating for poor performance Whether you are an employer, HR practitioner, advocate or employee, this session gives you a practical guide to getting performance-based terminations right. 📍 Njogu & Associates Advocates LLP Dhanjay Apartments, 5th Floor, Suite 503, Hendred Avenue, off Gitanga Road, Valley Arcade, Nairobi 📞 +254 725 615 596 🌐 www.njoguassociates.com Disclaimer: This webinar is for general information only and does not constitute legal advice.
