TSC Listed Penalties For Teachers Who Fail To Update TPAY Profile By 15th July

The Teacher Service Commission (TSC) has said that all teachers who will fail to update their profiles will suffer punishments from the commission.

All teachers are supposed to update their profiles by 15^th July 2022 to help the commission to maintain a valid register of teachers. This means that teachers have only today and tomorrow to ensure they comply with the TSC directive.

According to reports, many teachers are yet to complete T profile verification with many saying they are having problems with email validation. Some teachers have complained of rude TSC ICT county officers who will not attend to their questions.

However, one of the officers was heard saying that they have too much work to handle for teachers in the whole county. TSC CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia said the exercise which started on 9^th June 2022 is aimed at protecting its employees from fraudsters and in turn help enhance the security features of its various system.

She added that the TPAY system handles teachers’ and secretariat pay slips, p9 statements, control sheets, Third Party transactions, applications, and approval of the loan process. Macharia says users of the system have faced security challenges in the past fraudsters have used details of legit users of the system to gain access to the system.

According to TSC, heads of institutions have a duty to verify and approve the profile of teachers under their supervision. This means that teachers’ TPAY profile validation is not complete unless that school head approves the details.

TSC through the circular says heads of institutions who will not have validation of the particulars of teachers under their supervision within the stipulated time, together with their teachers will not be able to access their TPAY accounts.

This means that teachers who will fail in this exercise will be barred from processing loans or any third-party transaction. The teachers will not be able to access payslips.

Due to the lack of enough details related to teachers in the TSC database, quality services offered to teachers will be affected negatively too. In addition show, cause letters will be issued to the teacher who will fail in adhering to TSC policies and instructions leading to the loss of jobs.
