This pivotal agreement intricately delves into the specifics of the TSC’s new salary structure, slated for a phased implementation.
Unveiling the Transformative Changes
Transition to Implementation Phases:
Commencing from July 1, 2023, the initial phase of the new salary structure primarily targets currently active teachers. Subsequently, the second phase, slated for July 1, 2024, addresses instructors actively on duty during this timeframe. Noteworthy is the fact that this circular universally applies to all teachers engaged by the Commission as of July 1, 2023.
Seamless Transition and Incremental Dates:
As teachers transition to the new pay scales, a crucial point emerges — the retention of their existing incremental dates. In instances where the incremental date coincides with July 1, 2023, instructors will seamlessly receive their annual raise based on prevailing salary scales before seamlessly transitioning to the new salary points on the same date.
Consistent Annual Compensation Increases:
Undoubtedly, the TSC’s unwavering commitment lies in the continuation of annual compensation increases for all teachers, meticulously following the guidelines outlined in the Code of Regulations for Teachers (2015).
