DKI Provincial Government Promises All Lacks Of PJLP Salaries To Pay This Week

JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta Regional Financial Management Agency (BPKD) Michael Rolandi promised to pay off the lack of salaries for other individual service providers (PJLP) this week.

Michael said, the process of repaying the PJLP salary forecast which was not equivalent to the provincial minimum wage (UMP) in 2023 gradually began to take place on Friday, November 10.

"We hope that the payment process in all OPD (regional apparatus organizations) can be completed this week," Michael told reporters, Tuesday, November 14.

Michael admitted that the disbursement of the thousands of PJLP salary shortages could not be carried out simultaneously. This is because the administrative process is carried out by each OPD in accordance with the budget implementation documents they have.

"So, the speed, accuracy and accountability of the administrative process are in each OPD," said Michael.

Since last January, the salary received by PJLP in Jakarta has not been in accordance with the provincial minimum wage (UMP) in 2023 amounting to Rp4.9 million. They still get a salary equivalent to the UMP in 2022 of Rp4.6 million.

The DKI Provincial Government has finally allocated a budget for paying rapels for the salary difference of tens of thousands of PJLP which is still not equivalent to the 2023 UMP in the 2023 budget year APBD changes. The value is IDR 300 billion.

Previously, the Jakarta Governor Heru Budi Hartono's Instagram social media account was attacked by comments from a number of netizens who demanded the payment of the lack of salaries for other individual service providers (PJLP).

The collection of the remaining runway for tens of thousands of PJLP salaries was written in comments on uploading photos of Heru's activities with SOE Minister Erick Thohir who was attending an event at the HI Roundabout on Sunday, October 15.

"Sir, PPSU's salary is when it will go down, sir, he said in October," said the anone.april Instagram account.

"Dear @herubudihartono @dkijakarta @bpkdpemprovdki @dpr_ri when the PJLP Rapelan came down was already on 16 he said at the beginning of October but until now. Oh my goodness, sir, we only expect from salaries for daily needs," wrote the klemens 141 account.

"Sir, it's good that you have money, you don't think about your family," said the Perdian_doank12 account.
