• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: p.m. a committed employee will go beyond that and decide to just press on because of the exam, even if it means leaving at 8.00 p.m. in the night. view
• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: This does not mean that the employer should compensate the employee for that or should be fined some amount of money. There is need to really re-think and ensure that this is not conflicting. view
• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: I also want to give a near example in a house environment where you have visitors and your workers normally go off duty on Saturdays. What do you do when you have visitors who are overwhelming? Naturally, you would want to talk to your employees to listen to you and be there for you. When they agree to be there for you, deep in your heart you feel that they are really committed and you would want to compensate them handsomely. As I said, we have rights of employees and rights of employers. Therefore, there is need to ensure that ... view
• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: There are instances when an employer would want clarification, probably from an employee who is well-versed with a certain issue that is salient to the organisation. So, in a situation where, for example, this employee is off-duty, does it mean that if the employer seeks clarification then he has to pay the employee? That should not be the case.

• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, even as we look at these issues, we have to ensure they are not also bringing a wave of confusion in working environments and organisations where people keep taking their employers to court or where sometimes even employees can be rebellious. They may quote this Act and says: “In accordance to this Act, I will not respond or I pick phone calls.” Yet that phone call is supposed to clarify something for seamless running of the organisation. view
• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there are plenty of benefits in being a loyal worker. Sometimes the benefits of being loyal can be surprise to you in terms of promotions can come because you have really decided to fly high the flag of the organisation. So, there is need to ensure that even as we talk about employee rights, we need to put into consideration that attitude is very important. A positive attitude from an employer that you are a perfect or a good or productive employee, will take an employee very far in terms of career progression. view
• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is need to strike a balance in this Bill to ensure that organisations are not suffering or not overtly going to court perpetually because of making a phone call and all that. Employees have rights and employers have expectations from their employees. The employer’s expectation is to ensure that the operations of the organisation are running smoothly and productively. This can lead to a win-win situation for both the employers and the employees. view
• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, my suggestion is that even as I add my thoughts to this Bill, there is need for Sen. Cherargei to look at Clause 27 (7)(a) and ensure that it is view
