Employees can no longer instantly resign or retire to evade disciplinary action, a Court of Appeal has ruled in Nakuru. The decision clarifies that immediate resignation does not shield individuals from accountability for workplace offenses.

• An employee in a case involving unlawful strike participation and property damage attempted to resign immediately after facing disciplinary notices.
• The Court of Appeal stated that employment law does not recognize instant retirement as a means to escape accountability.
• Employers retain the right to continue disciplinary proceedings and dismiss employees, even after an abrupt resignation attempt.
