Republic of Kenya

In the Employment and Labour Relations Court at Nairobi

Cause 1108 of 2011

MA Onyango, J

December 19, 2022

Between

Mathew Munyao & 133 others

Claimant

and

General Plastics Limited

Respondent

Quantum Judgment

1. Pursuant to the judgment of this court dated November 30, 2018 in which the court held as follows:“Having found the claimants to have been unfairly terminated and further that they had been in the employment of the respondent for periods ranging from one year to 11 years and taking into consideration the fact that the claimants were engaged on inferior terms as compared to their counterparts who were members of the union, I order compensation as follows –Length of service Compensation

10 years and above 10 months

8 years but less than 10 years 8 months

5 years and less than 8 years 6 months

3 years but less than 5 years 4 months

Under 3 years 3 months I also order the respondent to pay annual leave due for the period worked by each of the claimants based on 21 days annual leave per year.The parties are directed to use the records of NSSF contributions to determine the years of service and to move the court should they not agree on the tabulations.”

2. The matter was listed before me on November 8, 2022 for settlement of the terms of the decree. Only the claimants have filed tabulation for compensation for 81 out of 134 claimants. The respondent on the other hand did not file its tabulation as directed. It is worthy to note that the respondent failed to attend court on July 27, 2022, October 18, 2022 and November 8, 2022.

3. For these reasons, the court adopts the tabulation filed by the claimant as its final award of the judgment dated November 30, 2018. Judgment is entered for the claimants against the respondent in the sum of Kshs 8,491,817. 55 as more specifically set out in, as per table A attached to this judgment.
