Abstract: – This study investigated the relationship between employee income security Schemes and performance of teachers in primary schools in Uganda – Ibanda District. The study adopted cross-sectional and correlational research designs on a sample of 155 using a self-administered and an interview guide. Data were analysed using both quantitative and qualitative data methods. The quantitative data analysis methods were descriptive statistics that included frequencies, percentages and means. Inferential analyses were correlation and regression. The descriptive results revealed that performance of teachers was good while employee income security Schemes poor. Inferential results revealed that basic pay had a positive and significant relationship with performance of teachers. The study concluded that employee income security Schemes are the most probable remuneration for the performance of teachers. It was thus recommended that the government and school authorities should establish income security schemes for all teachers.

Key words: Performance, Remuneration and employee income schemes.
