Here Is A Full List Of Teachers’ January Allowance As In CBA 2021-2025

Teachers employed with the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, have a reason to smile as they will have a fat payslip end of this month.

According to TSC, the fat slip will be a result of the annual leave allowance which teachers get paid every January at a rate based on their job groups. It is also integral to remember that only pensionable and permanent teachers receive allowances from the Teachers Service Commission.

Educators who work in the Nairobi region get the highest allowances than those plying for their trade-in remote areas. Additionally, teachers in a higher job group enjoy a bigger allowance than those in lower groups.

Therefore, teachers are paid allowance based on ranks and job responsibilities, and the regions they work in.

A teacher in the employment of the commission is entitled to a maximum of thirty days annual leave with full pay in respect of each calendar worked irrespective of terms and conditions.

Even though most teachers’ allowances are paid monthly, some are one-off. Teachers are paid either remunerative or reimbursable allowances.

Remunerative allowances are submitted with the teacher’s salary. Therefore, it is often presented to the teacher monthly when their wages are due

The TSC house allowance is one of the most common and is paid to all teachers monthly. The allowance abides by the standard criteria, which are the teacher’s job grade and workstation. The higher the job grade, the higher the house allowance.

The hardship allowance for teachers is submitted monthly to the educators. This allowance is paid to a teacher that works in an area prone to insecurity, high risks, and harsh climatic conditions.

The commuter allowance is also paid monthly according to the teacher’s job group. Another allowance that teachers in Kenya enjoy is the leave allowance paid yearly, which is slightly different from others. Also, it is paid based on a teacher’s grade

Allowances paid upon application include 5 options. As the name suggests, these are not automatically applied to a teacher’s salary either monthly or yearly, but one must apply

Only headteachers in job group K and below enjoy the responsibility allowance. Special duty allowance is paid to teachers below job group M appointed in administrative posts by the commission and deployed to arid and semi-arid regions.

Interpreter’s allowance is paid to deaf teachers while on study leave. Transfer allowance is paid to teachers who have been transferred from their workstation, which is initiated by the Commission. It includes a teacher’s basic monthly pay

Reader’s allowance, aka facilitation or aid allowance, is given to visually impaired educators that have met certain conditions. It is paid at a rate of Sh15,000 per month to blind teachers and those confined to wheelchairs by virtue of their disability.

Reimbursable allowances are paid to teachers upon application only. The TSC only reimburses traveling expenses and quota per diem. The commission has specified the conditions under which a teacher qualifies for traveling expense reimbursement, like traveling from duty station outside the home district on retirement.

The quota per diem is paid to teachers that are on official assignments. Any applicant must submit their request 14 days before traveling.
