Newly recruited teachers must report to their respective stations on the day specified by the teaching institution, TSC. Teachers hired in July 2022 received their employment letters effective August 18, 2022, and were to report to their new stations beginning September 1, 2022.
Teacher Service Commission, TSC sends employment letter (test letter) to newly recruited teachers after successful verification of teacher documents. This letter is sent to the teacher through the station assigned by the teacher to serve under the TSC.
The KPU Secretary, in a letter, stated that for professional teachers, the entry level is Secondary School Teacher II. The station where the teacher is posted and the subjects to be discussed are also written in the cover letter.
*EMPLOYMENT TERMS*
Newly hired teachers must serve a probationary period of not less than six (6) months. In some cases, the probationary period can be extended if the teacher’s performance is not satisfactory; at worst, the teacher can be terminated before the probationary period ends. For regular approval, the head of the institution completes a recommendation form for the teacher, which is sent to the TSC for approval.
Teachers are expected to attend the assigned institution as indicated in the employment letter and have 30 days from the effective date; even as shown.
The employment letter also states the teacher’s expected base salary per year based on their entry grade. A teacher is also entitled to a fixed salary allowance in his class.
*Allowances that teachers can receive are:* Teachers who work in so-called hardship areas receive the hardship allowance above two allowances. Those who work in schools with diverse students also receive special allowances.
Teachers are expected to work wherever the TSC feels their services are needed. In addition, the instructor must have served at least five (5) years at the primary duty station that he was first posted before requesting a transcript. In some cases, such teachers may be placed under the special care of the Commission for reasons such as medical or security reasons; as may be considered appropriate by TSC.
The letter is copied to the head of department or office and the district director of TSC.
