TEACHERS’ SALARIES: SHOCK AS TSC BOSS ANNOUNCES PLANS TO RECOVER ALLOWANCES ERRONEOUSLY PAID TO  TEACHERS

Teachers are yet to come to terms with the latest plans by their employer, TSC to recover hefty house and hardship allowances soon.

The commission announced its plan to recover overpayments in house and hardship allowances from the teachers affected.

Wrong Mapping of Teachers Costs Teachers Thousands as TSC Moves to Recover  Overpaid  House and Hardship  Allowances

The Commission has already dispatched letters to the affected teachers citing wrong mapping for its decision.

This, therefore, means that the teachers in question who have been enjoying higher perks than they will have to repay through the nose for an iniquity they are oblivious of.

The TSC Head office has learned that your school was mapped under a former municipality and earmarked for hardship allowances erroneously,” read the letter sent to one of the teachers, in part.

TSC T-PAY SYSTEM, CHECK-OFF SYSTEM

The affected teachers will hence take pay cuts through the check-off system. This is not the first time the Commission is recovering overpayments. The Commission has already initiated the recovery of wrongly placed classroom teachers who were erroneously mapped as school administrators.

It is however important to note that much as these teachers fall in the same grade/ job group, their monthly gross salaries differ depending on the location of their work stations. The same case applies to TSC allowances. For instance, teachers posted to stations listed as TSC Hardship Areas get an extra Sh 10, 900.

Special Needs Teachers, SNE, also get an extra Sh 10, 900.

Teachers in Grade C2, former K earn the same amount of commuter allowance that is Kshs 5, 000.

The Commission also pays a flat rate of Kshs 6, 000 annually as leave allowance in January.

  1. Thanks for the good work.Am a teacher and feel that all may not be okey.The mistake is on mapping of schools for hardship or either municipality Location.I believe we give to the teacher and not the school.some of us resides in the municipality and travel to our schools but our house allowances are pegged on village schools but most municipality teachers live in the village and travel to the municipality schools then their allowances are pegged on municipality level.This may not be fair.

    Some schools in Nyandarua fall under areas not easily accessible and too cold.Others lie in Nakuru North Kedurumu Primary fall under harsh areas which is hardship but sorry for the mapping couriers am not sure what hardship here entails. PLEASE if we were the ones working there could we wish to be considered?
