TSC hardship areas and allowances per job group

Leave a comment

Teachers working in hardship areas get a special allowance called ‘hardship allowance’. The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, pays extra allowances (hardship allowances) to teachers working in areas classified as hardship. While classifying an area to be a hardship area, the locality must meet any of these conditions:

  • Lack of or unavailability or inaccessibility to food,
  • Inadequate transport and communication network,
  • Limited basic social services and amenities,
  • Persistent harsh climatic conditions like flooding, landslides and drought,
  • Insecurity and high possibility of security threats.

Hardship allowance is therefore paid in an effort to compensate for the cost of living for teachers working in areas designated as hardship. Like stated above, teachers working in hardship areas face a myriad of challenges; from lack of water, flooding to hostile living conditions characterized by constant spates of attacks.

Hardship allowances

In December, 2014, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC, reviewed hardship allowance to be paid at a flat rate for all equivalent grades/ job groups. The Commission effectively abolished the pegging of the hardship allowance as a percentage of basic pay.

Administrators in Job grade D5 (Chief Principals) receive the highest house allowance of Sh38,100.

The table below summarizes the monthly hardship allowance rates that are paid to teachers working in hardship areas; per job group:

List of TSC allowances for teachers that have been scrapped

Leave a comment

TSC allowances- The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) is planning to unveil major changes in the allowances paid to teachers and civil servants. The radical surgery will see some of the allowances being abolished and others restructured.

A 2019 study by SRC identified 247 allowances paid to public officers, which accounted for 48 per cent of the total wage bill as of 2019. This was against 31 allowances in 1999. The Public Finance Management (PFM) Act 2015 stipulates that the national government’s expenditure on the wage bill should not exceed 35 per cent of ordinary revenue.

In the current salaries review exercise SRC aims at minimizing disparities in gross remuneration package with the ultimate aim being to cap allowances at 40 per cent of basic pay.

While addressing journalists, recently, Chairperson Lyn Mengich said the new cycle may take effect six months after June, a time when the commission projects to have completed the review.

“Everybody will be affected. Some will impact more on other sectors of the employees. New employees will be affected where an allowance is being abolished. If provided for in a contractual obligation, it will not affect immediate staff enjoying that benefit,” She said.

Why SRC is reviewing the allowances

To avoid duplication, redundancy, disparities and varied eligibility criteria, allowances payable in the Public Service shall be harmonized and streamlined as follows:

  • Allowances and benefits that are paid for similar purposes but have different names shall be merged and renamed;
  • Allowances and benefits whose rates are not commensurate with the intended purpose shall be restructured;
  • Allowances and benefits whose current form does not change shall be retained; and
  • Allowances and benefits whose rationale for payment is redundant and or overlaps with that of the basic salary shall be abolished.

The Commission says allowances and benefits shall not be paid for purposes that are already compensated for in the basic salary thus resulting in a remuneration package that exceeds the relative worth of a job.

Streamlining of Allowances and Benefits

To avoid duplication, redundancy, disparities and varied eligibility criteria, allowances payable in the Public Service shall be streamlined by:

  • Merging and renaming allowances and benefits that are paid for similar purposes but have different names;
  • Restructuring allowances and benefits whose rates are not commensurate with the intended purpose;
  • Retaining allowances and benefits whose current form does not change; and
  • Abolishing allowances and benefits whose rationale for payment is redundant and or overlaps with that of the basic salary.

Reviewed TSC allowances

TSC allowances that will be restructured include:

Annual Leave Allowance

It is an allowance that is paid once in a year to teachers while on leave; usually paid with the January salaries. The Commission is intending to review this allowance due to the following reasons:

  • The wide banding of job group eligible for Annual Leave Allowance is discriminative;
  • There is a disparity in the rates payable in the Public Service.
  • Some public sector institutions pay Annual Leave Allowance as a percentage of the basic salary, other institutions pay Annual Leave Allowance as an absolute figure.
  • Some public institutions allow for commutation of non-utilized leave days for cash.

Consequently, this is how the annual leave should be paid;

The Annual Leave Allowance shall be paid in absolute figure and not a percentage of basic salary. Indeed, this how TSC pays the annual leave for teachers and hence no much changes are expected here.

The SRC shall review the banding structure in the Annual Leave Allowance payments to provide clarity in banding and rates payable by the teacher’s grade.

Hardship Allowance

This is an allowance that is paid to teachers deployed in designated hardship areas. The allowance is meant to compensate teachers working in the Hardship Areas to compensate them for lack of basic social services and amenities, security risk, harsh climatic conditions, isolation and family separation.

Some teachers are set to lose the hardship allowance because the designated hardship areas shall be reviewed, by the relevant government institution/s to reflect changes in designated hardship areas arising from benefits of devolution and Equalization Fund. This is because devolution has implied that Counties are no longer necessarily hardship areas since they are receiving equalization funds to promote development in the counties thereby addressing the characteristics of hardship areas.

Responsibility Allowance

This is an allowance paid to teachers in administrative posts. SRC has since abolished this allowance because the purpose for which the allowance is paid has been factored in the relative worth of the job through the job undertaken by the Commission. Indeed, this allowance was incorporated in the basic salaries for teachers holding administrative roles.

Medical Allowance

The allowances are paid alongside monthly salary based on the job group to cater for outpatient medical treatment. The allowance has now been abolished. Teachers lost their medical allowance some time back; and, part of it is paid to the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF; which is a statutory deduction) and the remaining goes to the TSC procured medical insurance scheme, AON-Minet.

Ministry of Interior Field Officers get Extraneous allowances as teachers watch

Leave a comment

The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has awarded Chiefs and their Assistants a new allowance for the extra duties that they perform. The new allowance (extraneous allowance) will not only benefit Chiefs but also other field officers in the ministry of interior and coordination of national government (up to Regional Commissioners).

According to the Ministry of Interior, the awarding of the extraneous allowance will boost the morale of the Field officers since it will be in commensurate with the nature of their work and the risks that they face in the field.

The new award is as a result of the extra responsibilities, extraneous nature of their roles, fairness and equity relative to all other public servants

“The Ministry gladly acknowledges this pertinent move geared towards motivating the officers with a view to improving service delivery,” said the Principal Secretary, Dr. (Eng.) Karanja Kibicho via a circular.

Kibicho said that besides routine coordination of security services across the country, the mandate of the administrators had in the recent past been expanded through executive orders No. 3/2014, No. 1/2016, and No. 1/2018 (revised).

“This is in addition to executive orders No. 1 of 2019 and No. 2 of 2020, which contain presidential directives aimed at strengthening service delivery up to the grassroots level, he added.

TSC allowances per job group

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, updates the rates of allowances paid to teachers from time to time. After a TSC promotion, the allowances are adjusted accordingly as per the recent Job Group (Grade). All teachers receive different types of allowances from TSC.
