The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has adjusted salaries for the newly promoted teachers. This is after an out cry from the affected teachers and through the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers – KUPPET.
Via a circular titled ‘CBA IMPLEMENTATION ANOMALIES FOR SENIOR MASTER IV’ the Commission says the salaries for the affected teachers will immediately be revised up wards.
New salaries and allowances for teachers.
Earlier, the Commission had paid the newly promoted teachers at Senior Masters IV, T-Scale 9 (C4), a monthly pay of between Sh52,308 and Sh55,604. This has now been adjusted to between Sh55,604 and Sh65,333.
Additionally, the teachers will get increased monthly Commuter allowance (to Sh8,000), Annual Leave Allowance (to Sh6,000) and monthly House Allowance (to Sh28,000).
“Upon signing of the CBA 2017-2021, the Senior Master IV was reserved as a promotional grade. The grade has 7 salary notches. The minimum and maximum salary notches under the expired CBA was correctly captured at Kshs. 627,696-667,248 as per the Conversion Tables.” Explains the teachers’ employer.
During the preparation of the Conversion tables, the salary scales were structured in a manner that a teacher would attain the 4th Notch in the fourth (44) Year as per the CBA review cycle. This was in anticipation that every Fourth year, the Commission would review the salary component of the CBA in each review cycle and teachers will convert to new salaries before attaining the 7th notch.
“In view of the new CBA, which has elongated the salary notches, the Commission will revise the Promotion Letters for the Senior Master IV teachers to reflect the correct salary scale at Kshs. 667,248-784,000.” Promises the TSC.
