TSC Payment Of Acting Allowance Arrears. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has been ordered by the Kenya National Union of Primary Teachers (KNUT) to provide responsibility allowances. This should be given to educators who have worked in an acting capacity.
The head of KNUT claims that it is improper for teachers to work in an acting capacity for longer than six months. Worst of it all without receiving acting allowances.
Therefore, in accordance with Knut Secretary General Collins Oyuu, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is required to pay instructors acting allowances.
Oyuu stated that several teachers have been appointed to fill in as a head teacher or deputy in another school. Some at their stations. They are expected to receive acting allowance. This was in a speech to the press on Thursday in Kisumu.
KNUT has denounced the existing state of affairs in which the commission reappoints teachers to part-time roles at schools. Such as acting as deputies or heads, without paying them for the time they spend providing services.
In order to highlight the need of reviews, Oyuu gave the example of a teacher who was hired to work as a head teacher for three years before being absorbed without receiving pay for that time.
KNUT Sec. Gen. Oyuu claims that such a conduct completely contravenes Kenya’s labour rules.

Oyuu has also requested that instructors be promoted in accordance with their qualifications. This is whether or not the TSC has the funding to do so. This is as long as the teachers are qualified and the TSC is willing to pay them.
He went on to say that TSC should promote instructors and pay them when they receive the money. Stopping of promotions due to a shortage of funding should stop.
However, TSC is currently getting ready to provide automatic teacher promotions for all eligible educators in order to address the delays that have been keeping teachers in one job group stagnant for years.
TSC is consequently gradually being automatically promoted to the following stages of employment from their current employment categories.
