Ministerial Regulation of PAN-RB 6/2024 Becomes a Breath of Fresh Air for North Kalimantan PPPK

TANJUNG SELOR – The issuance of the Regulation of the Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (PermenPAN-RB) Number 6 of 2024 regulates the procurement of State Civil Apparatus (ASN), including Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK).

The Head of the Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM) of North Kalimantan, Rohadi, said that the presence of PermenPAN-RB brings a breath of fresh air in the management of PPPK work contracts, especially in North Kalimantan, Wednesday, November 13.

"In PermenPAN-RB Number 6 of 2024, the minimum is 1 year and the elimination or no maximum limit for work contracts for PPPK. Previously, the PPPK contract period was limited to a minimum of 1 year of work and a maximum of 5 years of work," said Rohadi.

Based on the latest regulation, he ensured that after 5 years of good performance, PPPK can be extended again.

"If they still meet the PPPK criteria, they can extend their work contracts," he said.

However, the 5-year work contract for the Kaltara PPPK is still carried out, because it is to adjust the 5-year government period, and to adjust to the RPJMD and so on, and to adjust to the regional budget capacity.

"For example, if it is taken for 1 year, it is too short, also for the evaluation of PPPK in its work it becomes ineffective and inefficient, so a middle ground of a 5-year work period is taken," he explained.

Then the PPPK work contract is not made 10 years, 15 years, or 20 years even though the PPPK official is still young, because it is to see the ability to manage funds or regional burdens of the Regional Budget (APBD).

In the latest regulation, Rohadi stated that certain functional positions can be filled by PPPK. So as long as PPPK meets the requirements of good potential, then any position can be allowed according to the provisions based on the provisions.

"KepmenPAN-RB Number 76 of 2022 functional positions can be filled by PPPK, there are 187 functional positions filled by PPPK," explained Rohadi.

He hopes that all existing PPPK will follow the rules as ASN, in addition to the existing and possessed abilities, their competencies must still be improved by participating in technical guidance, webinars and similar orientations. "The point is, don't be satisfied with what you have, but develop your existing competencies. PPPK who have entered ASN should not only be satisfied but continue to improve their competency abilities," he said.
