Laid-off workers to get jobless pay for 6 months
Summary
The Ministry of Labour says workers will be required to contribute to the yet-to-be-formed Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF).
Employees will contribute one percent of their pay that will be matched by employers towards the fund that aims at generating at least Sh45 billion annually.
The monthly stipend will be offered for six months in a period when the State hopes workers affected by job cuts would have tapped new work or entered business.
