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
There are two types of remunerative allowances;
-
- Automatic
- Those paid upon application
I. 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;
- Nairobi,
- Former Major Municipalities (Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Nyeri, Eldoret, Thika, Kisii, Malindi and Kitale),
- Other former Municipalities; Ruiru, Kikuyu, Kitui, Machakos, Mlolongo, Athi River, Vihiga, Wote, Mumias, Bomet, Limuru, Kericho, Kimilili, Kakamega, Kapsabet, Kiambu, Bungoma, Webuye, Busia, Runyenjes, Migori, Embu, Homa Bay, Lodwar, Meru, Nyahururu, Nanyuki, Maua, Voi, Siaya, Chuka and Kerugoya/ Kutus
- Other areas; this include all regions not mentioned in bullet 1-3 above.
Teachers working in Nairobi draw the largest amount of house allowance whereas those plying their trade in reserves (other areas) receive the lowest amounts. (Details on the table at the bottom end of this article).

HARDSHIP ALLOWANCE
TSC pays monthly hardship allowance to teachers working in areas prone to insecurity, high risks and harsh climatic conditions. The commission has designated various areas as hardship. The allowance is paid according to a teacher’s grade. Those in higher job grades earn more than their counterparts in lower cadres. (see table below; bottom end of the article).
COMMUTER ALLOWANCE
Commuter allowance is paid to all teachers on a monthly basis. Payment of this allowance is solely dependent on the teacher’s job group. (See tabulated figures below; scroll to the bottom of the page)
LEAVE ALLOWANCE
Leave allowance is a yearly allowance paid together with the January Salary of the preceding year. It is given as per a teacher’s grade; with those in higher job grades earning more.

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.
Thanks a bunch for sharing this with all of us you actually know what you’re talking about! Bookmarked. Kindly also visit my site =). We could have a link exchange arrangement between us!
