Court strikes blow for ‘equal pay for equal work’
Justice Stella Rutto said employers are duty-bound to promote equal opportunity in employment and eliminate discrimination in any employment policy or practice.
It is unlawful for employers to pay an employee less than their counterparts in similar positions, the Employment and Labour Relations Court has ruled.
In a landmark judgment that entrenches the ‘equal pay for equal work’ principle in the country, the court stated that having workers doing the same job while earning different pay amounts to discrimination, which is a breach of Kenyan employment laws.
