Heads Who Fail To Validate Teachers’ TPAY accounts Within 30 Days To Be Punished
Heads of institutions who will fail to validate the T-PAY accounts of teachers who serve under them will have to feel the wrath of the teachers’ service commission, TSC.
The commission has confirmed that it is the duty of the heads of institutions to validate the details of their teachers, failure to which, the heads will not access their T-pay accounts. If denied access to T-Pay account, the implication is that one cannot take loans with any financial institution due to inability to submit the latest payslip. Additionally, accessing p9 form to enhance filling of KRA returns can be another hell.
Teachers have 30 days to update their data on TPAY, as part of enhancing security of their information, in line with Data Protection Act 2019.
Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Secretary Nancy Macharia has urged all heads of institutions to verify and approve the profile of teachers under their supervision in a process that started yesterday.
“TPAY validation exercise takes effect from June 9 and will close on July 15,” Macharia says in a circular dated June 8.
