A Kenyan court has clarified that an employee's resignation can be considered unfair dismissal if an employer's conduct makes the workplace intolerable.

• The court ruled that a resignation can be classified as constructive dismissal when an employer's actions significantly breach the employment relationship, destroying trust and confidence.
• This ruling applies even if the employer's conduct involves multiple, seemingly minor incidents that, in aggregate, become unbearable.
• In a specific case, a former branch manager was awarded approximately Ksh5.9 million after the court found her resignation was due to unfair constructive dismissal, stemming from alleged humiliation and mishandling of complaints.
