Fixed term contracts are permitted in Kenya. The term must be specified and generally are more than three months but less than six months. Repeated renewals of fixed term contracts are permitted but may create an expectation of future renewals. A fixed term contract may include a probationary period as outlined below. After the probationary period, 30 days notice or pay in lieu is required to terminate the agreement. The termination procedure is dependent upon the reason for the termination. If the agreement is not ended early, it will expire at the end of the term.
Probationary periods may be contracted for up to six months in either a fixed term or a permanent contract. With the Workers consent, the period may be extended to one year. A Worker may be terminated during a probationary period with seven days notice or pay in lieu. A reason must be provided for the termination, or it may be deemed unfair.
