New Benefits for Teachers as TSC Pays January Salaries Next Week.

Teachers across the country will begin receiving their January salaries on Monday next week. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has confirmed that the payments will include the annual leave allowance, a benefit provided each January.

TSC announced that the January payroll has been finalized to ensure timely disbursement of salaries and allowances. This process also includes the settlement of loans and other third-party deductions.

Notably, 46,000 teachers who transitioned from internship to permanent and pensionable (PnP) terms have been incorporated into the January payroll.

These teachers include:

CategoryNumber of TeachersRecruitment Date
Junior Secondary Teachers21,550February 2023
Primary School Teachers4,000February 2023
Secondary School Teachers450April 2023
Junior Secondary Teachers18,000September 2023
Primary School Teachers2,000September 2023

These newly employed teachers will now receive enhanced salaries and benefits, including a comprehensive medical cover, leave entitlements, and access to loans.

Salary Adjustments

Under the new terms, primary school teachers will earn a net salary of Ksh 32,000 after statutory deductions, while graduate secondary school teachers, including those teaching in junior secondary, will earn up to Ksh 47,000.

Previously, intern teachers earned Ksh 13,000 for primary schools and Ksh 17,000 for secondary schools, after NHIF, NSSF, and House Levy deductions. However, the 46,000 recently absorbed teachers will not qualify for the annual leave allowance as they have not met the required period of service.

Leave Allowance Details

Annual leave allowance is issued alongside January salaries each year. The rates, based on the job group of teachers, are as follows:

Job GroupLeave Allowance (Ksh)
B54,000
C14,000
C26,000
C36,000
C46,000
C56,000
D110,000
D210,000
D310,000
D410,000
D510,000

In addition to the allowance, teachers are entitled to various types of leaves, including annual leave, which must be taken during school holidays.

The Commission clarified that teachers are eligible for a maximum of 30 days of annual leave with full pay for each calendar year worked. Leave cannot be accumulated for future use.

Online Leave Application System

Since December 2021, TSC has automated the leave application and approval process, transitioning to an online platform. Teachers are required to apply for leave through this system, adhering to the procedures outlined in the 27th Schedule of the TSC Code of Regulations for Teachers (CORT). The types of leave available on the online platform 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

Comprehensive Benefits for Teachers

TSC reiterated its commitment to improving teachers’ welfare. A senior official noted that transitioning teachers to PnP terms is part of broader efforts to motivate the workforce and ensure quality education delivery.

“We are focused on ensuring our teachers are well-compensated and supported,” they remarked.

Additionally, a teacher expressed satisfaction with the new measures, highlighting that the enhanced salaries and benefits are a significant improvement from the internship terms. “This is a milestone for many of us who have worked tirelessly to achieve permanent terms,” they shared.

The Teachers Service Commission continues to uphold its mandate of fostering a supportive environment for educators across the country.
