Police Find Companies Forcing Employees To Work In Offices During Emergency PPKM Period

JAKARTA - The police said they found people who were still asked to work by their companies even though they were not included in essential and critical sectors. This is the cause of many people trying to break through the point of isolation

"We also found that in the field, there were still several companies, the residents admitted that they were still being asked to cooperate with their companies, who knew it was non-essential", said the Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Yusri Yunus, to reporters on Monday, July 5th.

In fact, referring to the policy for the Implementation of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM), all companies operating in the non-essential sector are required to implement work from home (WFH) 100 percent.

Therefore, Yusri asked all people who were still asked to work even though it was not an essential and critical job to report. The police emphasized that the company could be dealt with strictly according to applicable regulations.

"Report it immediately, report it to the Task Force if you still find non-essentials, are forced by their owners or leaders to work, even though that is no longer allowed", said Yusri.

"This has resulted in a lot of buildups, the Law Enforcement team has already been conveyed by the Director of Crimes, they will continue to carry out patrols, will check directly, will monitor directly, find non-essential companies that still force their employees to work, we will take action, we will investigate", he added.

Previously reported, Metro Jaya Police said it would investigate non-essential offices that still employ employees during the Implementation of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM).

The search was carried out because many people tried to enter Jakarta on the grounds of work.

"We are checking which offices are still not closed even though they are not critical and essential", said Traffic Director of Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo.

Not only that, but Sambodo will also comb through offices that do not implement the work from home (WFH) and work from office (WFO) policies by the specified capacity. Of course, if found violations will be given strict sanctions.
