What Happened in the TikTok Story A Kenyan employee, let's call him John, shared his story on TikTok about how his employer withheld his salary for several months while the business continued to operate.

John claimed that he was owed KSh 200,000 in unpaid wages and was struggling to make ends meet. The employer allegedly kept promising to pay but never did.
