Starting 2023 with a brighter outlook, 123 non-teaching personnel of Tarlac State University were appointed with contractual positions effective January 2023.
Among the 123 contractual personnel are 22 new appointments and 101 contract renewals. The employees took their oath last January 24, 2023 at the TSU Gymnasium with TSU President Dr. Arnold E. Velasco as presiding officer.
In a message before the ceremony, Pres. Velasco lauded the employees and commended the services they have been rendering under their respective units.
Moreover, he challenged them to always put their best foot forward as they sustain the quality of service they provide to the university.
“We really have to do our best for the university. Aside from service, maganda yung natural sa'yo ‘yung paggawa ng isang bagay na kahit hindi nakikita ng boss, pinu-push pa rin ‘yung sarili natin to work,” Pres. Velasco said.
Pres. Velasco also highlighted that employees should always be grateful for the opportunity given by the university.
“Nandito tayo [sa TSU], nagtatrabaho not only for ourselves but also for our family. Biyaya sa atin ang TSU,” he added.
Last December 15, 2022, immediate supervisors were directed by the Human Resource Development and Management Office through Office Memorandum Order No. 184, s. 2022 to recommend for contractualization a maximum of 20% of the total population of employees in the office.
Also, before the program proper, the university president remembered the late Ms. Osel Gihan Alamo, Administrative Officer IV under the Recruitment, Selection, and Promotion Unit of HRDMO, who passed away a day before the oath-taking.
One of Alamo's tasks in the office is related to the application and renewal of contractual personnel.
