Teachers service commission, (TSC) , has released the new salary adjustment schedule for teachers on the TSC payroll who have not reached the maximum salary points as per the 2017-2021 CBA, in response to the demands of the Kenya union of post primary education teachers, KUPPET, on the anomalies that resulted from the implementation of the 2017-2021 CBA.
Only six job groups will receive a pay increase in July, according to the commission, with arrears following the 2022 budget.
C4, C5, D1, D2, D3, and D4 are the affected job groups of teachers who will be favored in this job group banding.
Teachers in the aforementioned employment groups should expect an increase starting in July 2022, when the adjustment will be implemented.
The commission, on the other hand, stated that the adjustment, which will be backdated to July 2020, is contingent on funds being available.
The salary banding for teachers is shown in the CBA 2021-2025 article 7.1 and Appendix 1.
The salary banding is the same as in the CBA 2017-2021.
Under the end of the CBA 2017-2021 cycle, the grades B5, C1, C2, C3, and D5 had accumulated the maximum salary points allowed by the banding.
Grades C4, C5, D1, D2, D3, and D4 have not yet reached the salary banding’s maximum salary points. As a result, compensation points for these grades will need to be extended beginning July 1, 2020.
The enhanced salary progression tables, as shown below, were produced for use in the system.
According to the table, the elongation salary scale points for grades C4, C5, D1 and D4 range from three (3) to seven (7). (7).
While the elongated compensation scale points for grades D2 and D3 are from point two (2) to seven, the elongated salary scale points for grades D1 and D2 are from point two (2) to seven (7).
Teachers who hit their maximum pay point between July 1st, 2020 and July 1st, 2021 are owed arrears from that date until January 2022.
