“In order to improve communication with all its employees, the Commission has installed a Bulk SMS System which will also be linked to other human resource and payroll functions.
In particular, the system will transmit alerts in case of any financial transactions such as loan applications and processing, and/or other third-party transactions. This will help to comprehensively address any potential cases of fraud or payroll tampering.
The system will also be used to give updates on payments, interviews, and pension processing, among other HR functions. In view of the foregoing, all the existing mobile numbers in the TMIS portal have been removed for fresh capture and validation by Heads of the Institution. Heads of Institutions are, therefore, required to undertake the following:
Enter afresh mobile numbers for all TSC-employed teachers in the specified section of the TMIS database.
Ensure that only the mobile number registered in the name of the teacher is submitted since it will be linked to the teacher’s payroll and HR records. It will, therefore, be in the interest of any teacher without a mobile line to immediately acquire one for this purpose.
Personally confirm the accuracy of the mobile numbers entered into the TMIS system.
County and Sub County Directors will monitor the TMIS reports ensuring full compliance by all institutions.
Finally, the mobile numbers for all teachers should be uploaded on
the TMIS platform by 12th February 2023. Teachers will receive a text notification from TSC-Kenya once the mobile number has been submitted through TMIS.”
