TSC explains why half of JSS teachers are yet to receive salaries.
The teachers service commission, TSC explains why half of Junior secondary school teachers are yet to receive salaries.
They confirmed that only 35,550 teachers who were posted to different schools in February and March 2023 had received their salaries in full.
Citing their reasons, the teachers commission explained that some of this teachers reported to their respective institutions dates late, leading to a delay in the processing of their salaries.
TSC stated,”As is a procedure, the recruits are given 30 days within which to report to their various stations, which leads to some commencing their work later than others.”
“This sometimes causes delays in the processing of their salaries. So far, the Commission has processed over 50 per cent of the salaries of the newly employed teachers,”the commission added.
The commission further, urged all those who have received their salaries, to confirm their receipt of payment through their respective banks.
Notably, TSC issued an apology for the delay assuring the teachers that they would get their pay by the course of May 2023.
TSC stated,” We apologise for any delays that may have been occasioned by late reporting of teachers to their stations or delayed submission of requisite documents. All efforts are being made to affect all the salaries in May 2023.
Teachers were further directed to contact the Director of Human Resource Management and Development in case of any other questions or concerns.
