    IMPLEMENTATION OF PHASE 1 OF THE THIRD REMUNERATION CYCLE FOR TEACHERS

    1. Introduction

    On 28th August, 2023, the Teachers Service Commission signed an addendum Agreement to the 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) with the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) and Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET). The agreement has reviewed the remuneration payable to teachers which will be implemented in two (2) phases with effect from 1st July 2023. The second phase will be implemented on 1st July 2024 for the teachers who will be in service at the material time.

     

    2.   Application

     

    This Circular shall apply to all teachers employed by the Commission and are in service as at 1st July, 2023.

     

    3.   Incremental Dates

     

    Teachers converting into the new salary scales will retain their current incremental dates. However, where the incremental date falls on 1st July, 2023 teachers will be granted their annual increment on the existing salary scales then convert to the new salary points with effect from the same date.

     

    4.   Annual Salary Increment

     

    Annual salary increment for all teachers will continue to apply as provided for in the Code of Regulations for Teachers (2015).

     

    5.   Grading & Salary Structure

     

    The Grading structure and designations will continue to apply as set out in Table 1 while the new salary structure and Conversion Tables after the review are as set out in Tables 2-12 attached to this Circular.

     

    6.   Allowances

     

    House allowance rates are categorized in four (4) clusters namely:

    1. Cluster 1: Nairobi City

     

    1. Cluster 2: Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru Cities, Nyeri, Eldoret, Thika, Kisii, Malindi and Kitale

     

    1. Cluster 3: Other former

     

    1. Cluster 4: All other

     

    The House allowance rates for Clusters 1, 2 and 3 have been retained. However, Cluster 4 rates have been reviewed to be implemented in two phases. The first phase has been factored in the August payroll with arrears backdated to 1/7/2023. The second phase will be paid on 1/7/2024. The house allowance rates are indicated in Appendix A. All other Allowances shall continue to be paid where applicable, as set out in Appendix B.
