肯尼亚法院裁定长期使用短期合同侵犯了工人的权利,下令赔偿,敦促稳定就业。 Kenya’s court rules that long-term use of short-term contracts violates workers’ rights, ordering compensation and urging stable employment.

肯尼亚就业和劳资关系法院裁定,将短期合同多次续签八年以上,即使是必要的连续工作,也违反了宪法规定的公平劳工做法权利。 Kenya’s Employment and Labour Relations Court ruled that repeatedly renewing short-term contracts for over eight years, even for essential, continuous work, violates the constitutional right to fair labour practices. 在Gichuki诉Kenya Power案中,法院判给450 000先令损害赔偿,裁定长期使用三个月的合同来计算仪表阅读器,相当于劳动临时工,尽管有合法合理的解聘。 In the case of Gichuki v Kenya Power, the court awarded Sh450,000 in damages, finding that prolonged use of three-month contracts for a meter reader amounted to labour casualisation despite a legally sound dismissal. 裁决强调,就业地位取决于工作的实际性质,而不是合同标签,并强调临时合同不应取代长期角色,特别是在适用最低12个月合同的公共部门。 The ruling emphasizes that employment status is determined by the actual nature of work, not contract labels, and reinforces that temporary contracts should not replace permanent roles, especially in the public sector where minimum 12-month contracts apply. 现在敦促雇主审查人员配置做法,并将合格工人转为稳定、长期的职位,以确保遵守宪法保护,防止承担财务责任。 Employers are now urged to review staffing practices and transition eligible workers to stable, long-term positions to ensure compliance with constitutional protections and prevent financial liability.
