TSC combines teachers’ January salaries with their yearly leave benefits.

Early next week, teachers throughout the nation will begin receiving their January wages.

As the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) pays along with the yearly leave allowance, the salaries will be increased.

In order to start paying teacher wages and benefits, as well as loans and other third-party deductions, the Commission has already ended the January payroll.

A total of 46,000 teachers who were employed on internship conditions were converted to permanent and pensionable terms and will be earning new salary with benefits as part of the January payroll.

In February 2023, 21,550 junior school teachers and 4,000 primary school teachers were hired.

In April 2023, 450 secondary school teachers were hired. In September 2023, 2,000 primary school teachers and 18,000 junior school teachers were hired.

After receiving employment and appointment letters last year, the teachers are now part of the January PNP payroll.

Teachers will receive higher pay along with other advantages including comprehensive health insurance, paid time off, and loans.

After statutory deductions, a primary school teacher’s net compensation is currently Sh 32,000, while a graduate secondary school teacher, including those in junior secondary, can make up to Sh 47,000.

A primary school intern teacher used to make Sh 13,000 a month, whereas secondary school teachers received Sh 17,000 after deductions for SHIF, NSSF, and House Levy.

However, because they haven’t worked long enough to qualify for the benefit, the 46,000 teachers will not receive their annual leave payment.

Each year, January salary are provided along with the yearly leave allowance. Leave allowances range from Sh 4,000 for the lowest employment group in B5 to Sh 10,000 for the highest in D5.

One of the several vacations that teachers are entitled to is a thirty-day annual leave that can be taken during the school holidays.

Regardless of the terms and conditions of service, a teacher employed by the Commission is entitled to a maximum of thirty days of paid annual leave for each calendar year worked.

Additionally, according to the Commission, yearly leave can only be taken during school breaks and cannot be accrued for future use.

Only during school breaks and in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the Twenty-seventh Schedule of the TSC Code of Regulations for Teachers (CORT) may an online application for yearly leave be submitted;

The Commission moved the leave application and approval process to an online system and automated it on December 1, 2021.

From now on, all TSC-paid teachers, including interns, must use the online application process to request leave. Leaves posted on an internet site include

1. Sick Leave
2. Annual Leave
3. Compassionate Leave
4. Paternity Leave
5. Maternity Leave
6. Study Leave
7. Special Leave
8. Adoption Leave
9. Spouse of Diplomat Leave
