TSC PAYSLIPS ONLINE – The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has posted the March payslips online and open the payroll portal. You can now access your TSC online payslip at https://tpay.tsc.go.ke/.

You will still use your TSC number and password as used in the old T-pay portal; payslip.tsc.go.ke/. In case you have forgotten your password, then you can easily reset it.

It is important that you download your payslip so as to monitor deductions and in case you see a ‘foreign’ third part deduction, then, you can stop it immediately. Also, watch out for double deductions. There are teachers who have had their salaries slashed for union dues and agency fee.

You can also now be able to send your payslip online to any third party organization; since the T-pay portal is open.
