TSC Teacher Service Termination Procedure; PnP & Probationary
There are certain rules and regulations in Kenya that govern the process of terminating a teacher’s job.
Whether a teacher is on a temporary, probationary, or permanent and pensionable (P&P) contract, there are processes in place for terminating their employment that have been agreed upon by teachers and the Commission.
This article discusses the termination procedure and its ramifications for instructors in various job categories.
For instructors on temporary or probationary contracts, either the Commission or the teacher has the authority to terminate their employment. In such instances, either party must provide a one-month written notice before the termination takes effect. Alternatively, instead of giving notice, they can provide one month’s basic income as compensation.
Furthermore, temporary teachers who contribute to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) will have their benefits handled in accordance with the NSSF Act, Cap. 258.
Permanent and Pensionable (P&P) Contract Termination: Different termination procedures apply to teachers on P&P contracts, which provide better job security. Such contracts can be terminated by either the Commission or the teacher. In this scenario, though, a longer notice period is required. Both parties must offer three months’ written notice or pay one month’s basic wage as an alternative to termination notice.
WCPS Refund for Male Teachers:
Male teachers who contributed to the Widows and Orphans Pension Scheme (WCPS) are eligible for a reimbursement of their contributions if they are terminated or resign from their positions. This program gives financial assistance to teachers who have worked for WCPS during their careers.
Conclusion:
Understanding the termination procedures is critical for Kenyan teachers since it allows for a smooth transition when their employment expires. Teachers and the Commission must adhere to the stated notice periods and payment terms outlined in their individual agreements, whether they are on temporary, probationary, or permanent and pensionable contracts.
