The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is today expected to strike out of the payroll, teachers who have remained rooted to their hard-line stance not to resume duty.
Among the teachers who are set to miss their pay, are those who failed to honour the Friday-deadline by TSC that required them to go back to class.
The teachers' employer on Monday September 14, issued an ultimatum for teachers to call off the strike by Friday, September 18, failure to which they would not receive the September salaries.
TSC Chairperson Lydia Nzomo on Monday said it would no longer be possible to pay teachers who were not working.
This comes even as TSC had already served 5000 teachers with letters to embark disciplinary action over the ongoing strike.
Those affected are mainly head teachers and their deputies whom the TSC had accused of desertion of work, insubordination and negligence of duty.

The threats have however been brushed off by the teachers' unions - KNUT and KUPPET - who have dared their employer to effect the warning.
It now remains to be seen whether TSC will live up to its threat.
The threats are amid a court order directing the teachers' employer to refrain from issuing any threats to sack teachers as well as teachers to avoid staging any public protests.
The over three weeks industrial action, which began at the beginning of the schools' third term, has since paralyzed learning in most public institutions with some schools sending learners back home.
The teachers' strike has flared into a full blown political storm, that has seen the Opposition declare a bid to remove President Uhuru Kenyatta from office.

The stalemate continues with the government maintaining that it cannot effect the 50-60 per cent pay rise awarded by the court.
Teachers on the other hand have vowed to unrelentingly continue pushing for their legally awarded pay.
