Mine is a question…how can new employed teachers who had not registered for online payslip get the p9 form considering that county education offices are closed and we aren’t sure when it will be open?!
Kindly notify
The TSC P9 forms covers salaries from the 1st of January 2019 to 31st of December 2019. I suppose if you were not paid during that time, you don’t TSC P9 forms.
