Question & AnswerQ&A (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 80)
The main purpose of Executive Order No. 80, s. 2012 is to direct the adoption of a Performance-Based Incentive (PBI) system for government employees to motivate higher performance, greater accountability, and ensure the accomplishment of commitments under the five Key Result Areas laid down in EO No. 43 and the Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016.
The two components of the PBI system are the Productivity Enhancement Incentive (PEI), which is an across-the-board incentive of P5,000, and the Performance-Based Bonus (PBB), which is a top-up bonus given based on performance.
Government units must achieve performance targets under their Major Final Outputs (MFOs) and their Priority Program/Project commitments under the 5 Key Result Areas, as well as accomplish good governance conditions set by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) under AO 25.
Department Secretaries or their duly designated officials are responsible for ranking the bureaus or delivery units, including attached agencies, according to their performance following a normal distribution.
Bureaus and individuals who receive a Below Satisfactory performance rating will not qualify for the Performance-Based Bonus (PBB).
No. The grant of allowances, incentives, and bonuses other than those authorized under the Salary Standardization Law III and this EO is prohibited, and no increases beyond what is provided in the EO are allowed.
The necessary funds for the PBB for departments, bureaus, agencies, and SUCs shall be charged against the Miscellaneous Personnel Benefits Fund (MPBF) in the General Appropriations Act (GAA).
Yes, GOCCs under the jurisdiction of the Department of Budget and Management are covered. Their PBB funds shall come from their respective corporate funds, subject to the approval of their governing boards and applicable laws.
The EO encourages the Congress, Judiciary, Constitutional Commissions, and the Office of the Ombudsman to adopt the provisions to be eligible for the PBB, but it is not mandated.
The IATF formulates and issues implementing guidelines for this EO; assists agencies with indicator and target identification; implements a validation system for agency reports and accomplishments; and may enlist other agencies' assistance.
