TSC New salary scales for teachers per job group as contained in the 2021-2025 CBA

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
  2. Cluster 2: Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru Cities, Nyeri, Eldoret, Thika, Kisii, Malindi and Kitale
  3. Cluster 3: Other former
  4. 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.

    Brands that manufacture chronometer watches
    Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Horology
    COSC Certification and its Demanding Standards
    COSC, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the authorized Swiss testing agency that certifies the precision and accuracy of timepieces. COSC accreditation is a sign of superior craftsmanship and reliability in timekeeping. Not all watch brands follow COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead follows to its proprietary strict standards with mechanisms like the UNICO, reaching comparable precision.

    The Art of Exact Timekeeping
    The core mechanism of a mechanized timepiece involves the spring, which provides power as it loosens. This mechanism, however, can be vulnerable to environmental factors that may affect its precision. COSC-validated movements undergo strict testing—over fifteen days in various circumstances (5 positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and reliability. The tests evaluate:

    Typical daily rate precision between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, maximum variation levels, and impacts of thermal changes.
    Why COSC Validation Is Important
    For watch aficionados and collectors, a COSC-validated watch isn’t just a item of tech but a proof to enduring quality and accuracy. It symbolizes a timepiece that:

    Offers exceptional dependability and accuracy.
    Provides guarantee of superiority across the complete design of the timepiece.
    Is probable to retain its worth better, making it a smart choice.
    Well-known Timepiece Manufacturers
    Several famous manufacturers prioritize COSC certification for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Record and Soul, which showcase COSC-validated movements equipped with advanced substances like silicon balance springs to enhance durability and performance.

    Historical Context and the Development of Chronometers
    The idea of the timepiece dates back to the requirement for precise timekeeping for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the 18th cent. Since the official foundation of COSC in 1973, the certification has become a yardstick for assessing the precision of luxury timepieces, continuing a tradition of superiority in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-validated watch is more than an visual selection; it’s a commitment to quality and precision. For those valuing precision above all, the COSC accreditation provides peace of mind, ensuring that each accredited watch will function reliably under various circumstances. Whether for personal contentment or as an investment, COSC-certified watches stand out in the world of horology, maintaining on a legacy of careful timekeeping.
