Teachers employed by the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, receive different types of allowances. These allowances are paid to teachers alongside their monthly salaries. Allowances paid by TSC depend on such factors as the work station, job grade of individual teachers, responsibilities and others like type of learners handled. See table showing all the TSC allowances per job group at the bottom of this post.
Whereas most allowances are paid on a monthly basis, others are one off. Below is a description of the various types of allowances paid by TSC.
Allowances paid to teachers are classified as either remunerative or reimbursable.
Remunerative allowances are paid with salary while reimbursable allowances are refundable upon application.
A. Remunerative allowances

-
- Automatic
- Those paid upon application
Ā I.Ā Automatic allowances include:
- house
- medical (No longer paid to teachers; deducted and paid directly to Minet insurance and another is given to the NHIF)
- commuter
- hardship
- Leave allowance
HOUSE ALLOWANCE
House allowance is paid on a monthly basis to all teachers. It is paid on two criteria; Job grade and workstation. Teachers in higher job groups earn a higher house allowance than those in lower cadres. The salaries and remuneration commission, src, has also clustered teachers’ work station into four regions;

Thanks for the new stuff you have uncovered in your text. One thing I’d really like to comment on is that FSBO interactions are built eventually. By launching yourself to the owners the first saturday and sunday their FSBO is announced, ahead of the masses begin calling on Wednesday, you create a good link. By mailing them tools, educational materials, free reviews, and forms, you become a good ally. If you take a personal affinity for them as well as their situation, you make a solid network that, oftentimes, pays off in the event the owners decide to go with a realtor they know and also trust – preferably you.
