Our Labour Compliance Services

Employment Compliance Audit

We conduct a comprehensive review of your employment contracts, HR policies, payroll practices, and statutory remittances — identifying gaps, risks, and non-compliant practices, and providing a prioritised remediation roadmap.

Employment Contract Review & Drafting

We review and redraft your employment contracts to ensure full compliance with the Employment Act — covering probation periods, notice periods, leave entitlements, restraint of trade clauses, and termination provisions.

HR Policy Development

We develop legally compliant HR policies covering: disciplinary and grievance, leave management, anti-harassment and bullying, data protection, flexible working, and code of conduct.

Termination & Redundancy Management

We advise on and manage lawful termination and redundancy processes — including required notice periods, consultation procedures, terminal dues computation, and NSSF/NHIF deregistration — minimising unfair dismissal risk and potential Industrial Court claims.

Ongoing Compliance Advisory Retainer

For organisations that need on-call employment law advice, we offer a monthly advisory retainer — giving your HR and line management teams direct access to our labour compliance specialists for day-to-day queries, disciplinary guidance, and policy interpretation.
