TSC Teachers to Receive 7% Salary Increment
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has begun disbursing pay to faculty members and administrative assistants for the month of July. In addition to having their salaries adjusted and receiving back pay, teachers will also receive a wage increase of 7% as part of the government’s commitment to bolstering the financial security of public employees in the face of challenging economic conditions.
The TSC has made the third-party deductions from the July payroll, which include things like loan and insurance payments, available for review. As a direct result of this openness, educators can take comfort in the fact that they will be paid no later than the Saturday after the next week.
In May of this year, payments were reportedly handed out to newly hired and assigned elementary school teachers, as indicated by the most recent payroll data. Some teachers have had their salaries and perks revised, while others have been awarded settlements to cover back pay for the time they were not paid.
In order for the TSC to implement the pay increase plan that was devised for the month of July, the National Treasury has transferred sh. 9.1 billion to the TSC.
