Teachers who work for the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will receive their 2024 December pay early, in time for Christmas.
To enable salary payments to teachers’ accounts, TSC closed the December payroll yesterday.
According to TSC sources, teachers will receive their pay on Friday at the end of this week. Third-party deductions have already been sent by the Commission.
Among other things, third-party commitments include bank loans, insurance payments, union dues, and helb.
Teachers will have a fantastic month in January. This is because the annual leave allowance that teachers receive will be determined by their employment group.
Their January wages will be paid along with the allowance. The yearly leave allowance for the lowest-paid teacher will be Sh 4,000.
The TSC Leave Allowance rates paid to teachers in accordance with Circular 14/2021 and CBA 2021–2025 are listed below.
LEAVE ALLOWANCE PER JOB GROUP
| Grade | Annual Leave Allowance |
| B5 | 4,000 |
| C1 | 4,000 |
| C2 | 6,000 |
| C3 | 6,000 |
| C4 | 6,000 |
| C5 | 6,000 |
| D1 | 10,000 |
| D2 | 10,000 |
| D3 | 10,000 |
| D4 | 10,000 |
| D5 | 10,000 |
However, because the government intends to increase National Social Security Fund (NSSF) deductions by 6% in February, teachers will receive lower income.
Employees will pay up to Ksh4320 per month under the new statutory deduction, which will go into effect in February, instead of the Ksh2160 that employers and employees presently contribute.
The NSSF Act of 2013 includes the new rule, which is presently being phased in. Kenyan employees would have 6% of their gross pay withheld.
As part of the government’s initiative to improve remittance to the security fund, the deduction will be put into effect on February 1, 2025.
The Act states that the top earnings limit has been raised to Ksh29,000, with this group of employees expected to contribute more, and the lower earnings limit, or the amount that is deemed the lowest pensionable salary, has been raised to Sh9,000 from the existing Sh7,000.
For example, after all the statutory deductions, including the Housing Levy, the Social Health Authority, the NSSF, and Pay As You Earn (PAYE), an employee with an average salary of Ksh40,000 would only receive Ksh32,000.
After all statutory deductions, a worker making Sh50,000 will receive a net wage of Sh38,000, and a worker making Sh70,000 will receive Sh53,000 after deductions.
In other words, the deductions would be based on an individual’s earnings, and the employer would have to match the employee’s salary with the deduction when sending the money.
Despite being passed into law in 2013, the Act wasn’t put into effect until 2023, following a ten-year legal battle to have the Act repealed. Nonetheless, the Court of Appeal gave the government flexibility to carry out the Act in 2022.
The most recent development coincides with the government’s intention to enact a number of tax changes in the three tax bills that are presently being discussed by the public.
In an attempt to close the budget deficit after the Finance Bill 2024 was withdrawn, the National Treasury created the Tax Procedures (Amendment) Bill, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill, and the Business Laws (Amendment) Bill.
Public hearings on the proposals have already been completed by the National Assembly Committee on Finance and National Planning, which is chaired by Molo MP Kuria Kimani. This opens the door for additional parliamentary approval.
