An employment dispute demand letter is a formal written demand to an employer for unpaid salary, wrongful termination remedies, or withheld benefits — issued on advocate letterhead before you approach the Employment and Labour Relations Court or other forums.
Many employment disputes in Kenya involve clear sums (unpaid wages, terminal dues, unlawful deductions) that an employer has ignored despite internal HR complaints. A lawyer-prepared letter documents your claim and sets a deadline in language employers and their counsel recognise.
Noticus is adding employment dispute letters soon. Until intake opens, you can read the guidance below and join the waitlist to be notified when you can create your letter online.

Employment relationships in Kenya are governed principally by the Employment Act, 2007, which sets out wages, termination, leave, and statutory minimums. The Employment and Labour Relations Court has exclusive jurisdiction over most employment disputes under the Employment and Labour Relations Court Act, 2011.
Unpaid salary and unlawful termination may also engage constitutional fair-labour principles under Article 41 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, which protects fair remuneration and reasonable working conditions.

When live on Noticus, employment dispute demand letters are planned at KES 3,500 with standard processing in 3–5 business days. Urgent turnaround (24–48 hours) will be available for an additional fee. This is typically far less than a litigation retainer for a single pre-court demand.
If the employer ignores the letter, you may file a claim in the Employment and Labour Relations Court or pursue other statutory remedies depending on the dispute (e.g. unpaid wages, unfair termination). The demand letter supports your case by showing you attempted formal resolution. Time limits vary by claim type — act promptly and seek advice on limitation periods.
