EFFECTIVE DEBT RECOVERY TECHNIQUES TO ENSURE YOU GET PAID ON TIME 1. Keep Records: - Make follow-up on sums owed by written correspondence to have a ready record trail, minimizing phone calls which may not provide an easy record trail. 2. Leverage Technology: - Send a letter requesting payment of sums owed as soon as agreed credit period you give runs out. Information technology can be leveraged to automatically send such requests on email. 3. Afford Business Contacts Indulgence: - Where a business contact you have had for some time requests for reasonable indulgence in paying sums owed, it is prudent to grant it. This may strengthen your future business relationship and earn you a client for life. 4. Send a Firm Demand Letter: - Where your request for payment is not taken seriously, instruct a lawyer to send a demand letter which must be firm but polite. Often a lawyer’s letter serves as an indicator to your business contact of your seriousness. 5. Act Promptly: - Note that the law provides for a time period within which an action for recovery of debt can be commenced through the courts. The expiry of this set time will leave you without recourse to legal remedy and oftentimes also means that documents in support of your claim get difficult to compile. #DebtRecovery #CashFlowManagement #BusinessStrategy #BusinessFinance #AccountsReceivable

UNDERSTANDING RESIGNATION WITHDRAWALS: A GUIDE FOR EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES When an employee in Kenya submits a resignation notice, it signifies an intent to terminate the employment contract. However, if circumstances change, here’s what both parties should consider: Irrevocability of Issued Notices: Once submitted, a resignation notice typically cannot be reversed unless mutually agreed upon by the employer and employee. Timeliness of Withdrawal: If an employee wishes to rescind their resignation, it should be communicated promptly—ideally before the notice period ends. Employer’s Discretion in Kenya: Under Kenyan employment law, the acceptance of a withdrawn resignation is up to the employer, and may depend on business needs and the employee’s role. Legal Protection Against Coercion: If a resignation is forced or coerced, it might be deemed a constructive dismissal, which is contestable under Kenyan law. #EmployeeRetention #ResignationRights #HRManagement #EmployeeEngagement #WorkplaceCulture
