Description

The Labour Institutions Act, 2007 establishes the framework for regulating labor relations in Kenya, ensuring the protection of workers' rights and fair employment practices. It creates key bodies such as the National Labour Board, Wages Councils, and the Industrial Court (now the Employment and Labour Relations Court) to oversee labor policies, set minimum wages, and resolve disputes. The Act mandates the registration of employment agencies, appoints labor officers to enforce compliance, and promotes equitable labor practices. It fosters a fair and just labor environment, safeguarding the interests of workers and employers alike.
