TSC requests details, to process new salaries for deployed teachers

The deployed practicing primary school teachers will start getting a higher salary immediately, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has hinted.

Already the first cohorts had there documents verified and were issued with deployment (posting) letters to junior secondary.

The Commission has opened application exercise afresh for teachers who missed a chance during the first deployment.

“The Commission has extended the period of application for deployment to Junior Secondary Schools. The portal has been re-opened. Primary school teachers with requisite qualifications are encouraged to apply. Use the following link https://tsconline.tsc.go.ke/tsc-teacher/login to access the portal. Deadline for application is 22nd March 2023,” said TSC.

However now TSC wants details for the deployed teachers submitted early enough to allow it process their new salary points.

This the Commission wants done before it closes its payroll on 15th March 2023. In a circular dated 17th February 2023 TSC gave directives to its agents to allow timely placing of the deployed teachers into the new job groups.

“Immediately the teachers are deployed to JSS, the County Directors shall initiate posting on the Posting, Entry/ Exit Reports Module to the Sub-County. The Sub-County Director shall post the teachers to JSS,” said TSC CEO Nancy Macharia in the circular.

TSC also ordered Heads of Institution releasing the teachers to immediately exit them through the submission of Exit Reports to enable the receiving Head of Institution to submit the Entry Report.

All these processes, it said must be conducted online through the Posting, Entry/Exit Reports Module as the Commission no longer recognizes nor process hard copy casualties.

“Where the teacher is retained in the same station, the Head of Institution shall exit the teacher from primary school and submit Entry Report for the JSS,” said Macharia.
