In Kenya, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is the chief employer of tutors, tasked with registering, recruiting, employing, and dispatching them to various learning stations in the country in line with the powers outlined by Article 237(2) of the Constitution 2010.
As the principal employer of teachers in charge of their recruitment process to public institutions, TSC manages the salaries of these educators, who are mostly employed under permanent and pensionable terms.
So, every month, teachers employed by this body receive TSC payslips, which are financial statements that show how much the employer paid them, including applicable deductions such as taxes and pension contributions.
TSC uses a type of payroll software called T-Pay, which allows for the download of payslips alongside other third-party check-offs for loan facilities like saccos. It also has a feature for downloading P9 forms and sending salary slips to banks and other financial institutions for the acquisition of loans.
In this article, we’ll show you how to register on the TSC T-Pay portal and view your monthly payslip as a teacher in Kenya:
How to register on T-Pay as a teacher
Truth be said. If you are a teacher in Kenya, you know how overwhelming it can be to queue at TSC offices to ask for your payslip every month. It is draining, without mentioning the extra expenses involved. That is why the Teachers Service Commission introduced T-Pay to automate its payroll system and enable access to TSC payslips online.
However, to register for T-Pay, you must visit TSC offices one last time because, unfortunately, the online registration of teachers on T-Pay was indefinitely stopped in a memo that didn’t state the reason for suspension but a direction for teachers to visit their nearest county office to get onboarded on the TSC online payslip service.
To register for the TSC T-Pay payslip service, visit your nearest TSC office having satisfied the following requirements:
* Must have a National ID card
* Have a KRA PIN
* A document showing your school details
* Birth certificate (not must)
* Active phone number(s)
* Have an email address
* Active bank account
* Have a designation code for identifying your TSC job group
* Must be a registered TSC teacher with a valid number
After submitting these documents at your county TSC office, you will be registered on T-Pay and able to receive your online payslip as a teacher in Kenya periodically, every month.
How to get your TSC payslip online via T-Pay
