Understanding Your Rights: Kenyan Workers' Compensation Framework
In Kenya, the legal framework for workers' compensation is primarily governed by the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) Act, 2013, which integrates and expands upon the provisions of the earlier Workers' Compensation Act (Cap 236). This legislation mandates that employers provide compensation to employees who suffer injuries or contract occupational diseases during the course of their employment. Entitlements can include medical expenses, temporary or permanent disablement benefits, and death benefits for dependents. The Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSHS) plays a crucial role in ensuring workplace safety, and the NSSF Board of Trustees administers the compensation fund. Our advocates are well-versed in these statutes, ensuring you understand your full rights and obligations under Kenyan law.
