Editorial & Content Policy

1. Our Editorial Mission & Scope

Center Board was created to empower professionals and organizations across Kenya and the wider East African region with reliable career intelligence, recruitment insights, and payroll compliance guidance. Our editorial content encompasses:

• Statutory Payroll & Tax Guides: In-depth analyses of PAYE, NSSF Tier I & II rates, Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF / SHA), and Affordable Housing Levy obligations.
• Career Development & Job Search: Resume crafting, ATS optimization, behavioral interviewing (STAR method), and executive career navigation.
• Compensation & Salary Negotiation: Market benchmarks, total reward structuring, and data-driven pay rise discussions.
• Modern Workplace & HR Compliance: Employment contracts, probationary rights, remote team management, and workplace dispute resolution under Kenyan labor statutes.

2. Research Standards & Statutory Accuracy

Because tax, payroll, and labor regulations carry legal and financial implications for employees and businesses, our content creation follows strict research protocols:

• Official Government Documentation: Statutory articles are grounded in primary sources, including published Acts of Parliament, Kenya Gazette notices, Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) technical circulars, and Ministry of Labour guidelines.
• Date Stamping & Version Control: Every article displays its publication date or last updated timestamp so readers can determine whether the information reflects current statutory provisions.
• Pragmatic Worked Examples: Where mathematical calculations are demonstrated (such as gross-to-net conversions), our team provides verified arithmetic breakdowns that cross-validate against official formulas.

3. Fact-Checking & Primary Sources

We believe transparency builds trust:

• We link directly to official authority portals (e.g., KRA, NSSF, SHA, Ministry of Labour) where appropriate to allow readers to verify source regulations.
• We do not publish unsubstantiated rumors regarding statutory rates or recruitment policies.
• We do not fabricate certifications, false endorsements, or hypothetical case studies. Case studies presented on Center Board reflect realistic workplace scenarios synthesized from industry practice.

4. Clear Separation Between Editorial & Commercial Content

Center Board maintains absolute independence in its editorial reporting:

• No Pay-for-Coverage: Employers, software vendors, or recruitment agencies cannot pay for favorable reviews, skewed salary benchmarks, or biased editorial opinions.
• Future Sponsored Content: If Center Board accepts sponsored articles or promotional partner contributions in the future, such content will be conspicuously labeled with clear tags such as "Sponsored Content," "Promotional Feature," or "Partner Article" to ensure complete reader transparency.
• Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure: Any links that generate referral commissions or third-party advertising displays (including Google AdSense) will always be clearly separated from editorial copy.

5. AI Tools Transparency & Human Curation

While Center Board provides interactive AI-powered career tools (such as our AI CV summary enhancer), our core editorial articles and statutory analyses are authored, researched, and structured with human editorial oversight. Where machine-assisted data aggregation is used during research, the findings are reviewed for coherence, factual relevance, and Kenyan jurisdictional accuracy before publication.

6. Corrections Policy & Error Reporting

Accuracy is our highest priority, but when errors occur, we believe in prompt, transparent correction:

• How to Report an Error: If you believe an article contains a factual error, an outdated tax bracket, or an inaccurate statutory interpretation, please email our editorial desk at info@centerboard.co.ke with the subject line "Editorial Correction Request", including the URL of the article and the specific text in question.
• Investigation & Timeline: Our editorial team will review the claim against primary statutory sources within 48 business hours.
• Transparent Updates: If a material factual correction is made, we will update the text immediately and append a brief editor's note explaining what was modified.

7. Reader Engagement & Editorial Contact

We welcome topic suggestions, statutory questions, and professional feedback from our readership. For editorial inquiries, pitching guest contributions, or reporting corrections:
