The University of Nairobi has suspended payment of overtime allowance and directed heads of department to comply.
In a circular dated January 14, Acting Deputy Vice Chancellor Human Resource and Administration Enos Njeru said no claims on overtime allowance will be honoured. Njeru makes reference to a circular issued on August 2, 2018 suspending the allowance and reminds staff to take note.
“The University Executive Board resolved to stop payment of overtime allowance to staff. Further, that only deserving cases would be approved and in any case prior approval must be sought from DVC HR,” said Njeru.

Bad weather, teacher shortage and challenges in enforcing social distancing are among teething problems schools are grappling with two weeks after learners resumed classes.
Since the end of last week, most areas in North Rift are witnessing short rains and chilly weather that have made it hard to conduct lessons out of classrooms as recommended by the Education Ministry as part of measures to curb Covid-19 infection risks.
Some teachers who spoke on condition of anonymity said classrooms are congested but due to the prevailing cold and wet conditions, it would be unhealthy to expose children by having lessons under trees.
