TSC Sick Leave Protocol for Teachers: Entitlements and Guidelines
Teachers who are unable to fulfill their teaching duties due to illness can now apply for sick leave through the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) online portal.
This initiative aims to provide a streamlined process for teachers to seek leave and avoid any disciplinary actions from the commission. Here are the important details to consider about TSC sick leave:
For Teachers:
- Timing: Apply for sick leave within 48 hours after outpatient treatment and within seven days if hospitalized.
- Application Submission: Apply online through the Head of Institution. If unable to apply personally due to severe sickness, the Head of Institution must inform the Sub County Director within 14 days.
