TSC Introduces New Payroll Numbers For Teachers
All of the employees of the Teacher Service Commission (TSC), including teachers, now use the same payroll numbers.
The action was taken as a result of the national government’s decision to adopt the UHRS, or Unified Human Resource System, an integrated human resources system.
This decision was recently communicated to all Public Service organisations by the Head of the Public Service, ushering in a new age of streamlined and integrated HR procedures.

This ground-breaking technology will serve as a central repository for all public sector human resources data, including vital details like payroll information.
One of the recommendations made in the CARPS Report (2015) was to create a “Unified Human Resource and Payroll Number generating system (UHR and IJPN) for the Public Service.” As a result, each public employee must be given a unique and permanent identity number, as required by the Allocation System for Unified Payroll Numbers (UPN).
TSC made the decision to assign a distinct UPN number to each of its payroll members, including teachers, beginning in March 2023.
The TSC/Employment number and the UPN, commonly known as the payroll number, are two distinct identities that are part of the T-Pay System.
In order to manage third-party checks more effectively, TSC recently created the online T-Pay application platform for employees and third-party businesses to perform check-off deductions.
Teachers enrolled with the commission can view their online payslips through the TSC programme T-Pay.
Teachers simply need their TSC number and password to log in in order to access the services on the portal.
