Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) plans to release the results of public service job evaluation by June this year.
SRC vice chairman Daniel Ogutu said they have finished carrying out job evaluation in a number of public service.
“We have done 21 ministries, state corporations and what is remaining is not that big and we intend to finish and release the results by June this year,” he said.
Ogutu said the exercise was jolted by a case in the industrial court by the teaching service.
He said the Commission will now expedite the exercise to cover the teaching staff that includes universities and the security sector.
Speaking on Monday in Kisumu at Lions High School during the start of job evaluation exercise for teachers, Ogutu clarified that teachers only have reservations for performance contracting and not job evaluation.
He said that the court had ruled that the Commission should undertake job evaluation for the teaching service.
“I want this to be clear, what we are doing is different from the performance contracting that teachers were opposing,” he said.
However, the teachers’ union terms the job evaluation exercise a ploy to undermine the pay negations between teachers and the Teachers Service Commission.
Ogutu announced that three main outcomes are expected in the ongoing job evaluation and the commission will make appropriate recommendations.
