Staffing and Organizational Structure

- The revised organization structure and staffing pattern (OSSP) must be approved by the TIEZA Board of Directors and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
- The DBM is tasked to review and issue the final OSSP within ten (10) days from the signing of the Executive Order.
Compensation Plan
- The compensation plan for TIEZA employees must be comparable to prevailing private sector compensation, as far as practicable and within legal limits.
- This is consistent with Section 105 of Republic Act No. 9593 (Tourism Act of 2009).
Personnel-Related Movements

Retirement and Separation Benefits

- Separation benefits are in addition to any other gratuities or benefits to which the employee is entitled.
Incentives and Assistance Package
- Subject to approval by the TIEZA Board of Directors, an incentive and assistance package may be offered to employees who voluntarily leave or retire.
- This package also applies to employees whose jobs may be declared redundant due to reorganization, without prejudice to other existing benefits.
Severability Clause
- If any provision of the Executive Order is declared unconstitutional, the rest of the order remains effective and enforceable.
