If you are a teacher under the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and have noticed deductions on your payslip from organizations such as SACCOs, KEWOTA, KUPPET, KNUT, or other third parties, there’s now a simpler way to stop them. TSC has introduced a new tab on its online system, allowing teachers to easily manage and cancel third-party deductions they no longer wish to participate in. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you stop these deductions from your TSC payslip.
What Are Third-Party Deductions?
Third-party deductions are authorized payments taken directly from your salary and sent to external organizations such as trade unions, welfare associations, insurance companies, or SACCOs. These deductions are often automatic but can be stopped if they are no longer needed or desired.
Steps to Stop Unwanted SACCO or Other Deductions
If you wish to stop any deductions from your TSC payslip, here’s how to do it:
1. Access the TSC Payslip Portal
Go to the TSC online payslip system using the following link: https://payslip.tsc.go.ke.
2. Log in to Your Account
Enter your TSC Number and Password to log in to your account.
3. Navigate to the 3rd Party Self-Service Module
Once logged in, click on the “3rd Party Self-Service Module”. This will open a window showing a list of all ongoing deductions under the “Running Transaction Details” section.
4. Stop the Unwanted Deductions
- Look at the list of transactions under the “Status” column.
- Tick the checkbox next to any deduction you want to stop.
- Click the “Reject Transaction(s)” button to stop the deductions from that particular third party.
5. Confirm the Stoppage
To verify that the deductions have successfully been stopped, go back to the payslip homepage and click on “My Transactions”. You should see an updated status reflecting the changes you’ve made.
6. Immediate Effect
Once the deduction has been rejected, it will stop immediately and no further payments will be made to the third party organization.
Why Stopping Deductions is Important
There are several reasons why you might want to stop deductions from your TSC payslip:
- Unwanted Membership: You may no longer want to be part of organizations like SACCOs or trade unions such as KUPPET or KNUT.
- Financial Flexibility: Reducing deductions increases your take-home pay, allowing you greater control over your finances.
- Expired Contracts: If you’ve finished paying for loans or subscriptions, continuing deductions would be unnecessary.
