You don't need a lawyer to know if you were unfairly fired without a termination letter or notice — Immani lets you check if your dismissal was fair, free, on your phone, in English or Kiswahili. The Employment Act 2007 requires your employer to give you notice and a hearing before termination. If you were fired without this, you may have a valid case.

In Kenya, the law is clear: your employer must give you at least 30 days' notice before terminating your employment. This notice must be in writing, and you must be given a chance to respond to the reasons for your termination. If your employer failed to do this, you may be able to claim unfair dismissal.

Let's say you were fired without notice or a termination letter. Here's what happens next:

1. You file a dispute on Immani using your employer's phone number, describing what happened.
2. Your employer is notified immediately and has a private window to respond and engage directly.
3. If there's no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up that phone number within Immani, prompting a reply.
4. You and your employer engage in a private conversation, trying to reach an understanding.
5. Once you've reached an agreement, you close the dispute on Immani, and it's resolved.
