dc.description.abstractThis paper delves into the complexities surrounding precautionary suspensions within employment contracts, an issue posing challenges to both employers and employees in Kenya. With the absence of clear legal provisions and procedural guidelines, injustices have prevailed, leaving employees vulnerable to arbitrary treatment by employers. Issues such as the proper time frame for precautionary suspensions including procedures to be followed such as the right to be heard and remuneration form the purpose of this research. The aim of the study is to analyse the existing legal framework as regards the administrative suspension of employees in Kenya. Additionally, a comparative analysis will be undertaken using the labour laws of South Africa to determine some of the features that Kenya can borrow from their legislation when it comes to precautionary suspensions. Employing a doctrinal research methodology, the paper draws insights from literature in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The findings of the study seek to bridge the existing knowledge gap concerning precautionary suspensions in Kenyan labor laws, aiming to enhance understanding and contribute to legal refinement in this area. By advocating for the incorporation of principles of substantive and procedural fairness, the research outcomes endeavor to promote equitable treatment within the employment sphere. Moreover, the paper proposes the establishment of subsidiary legislation to provide clearer guidelines on precautionary suspensions in Kenya, ultimately striving for a more just and transparent employment landscape.
