BANDUNG - The Regional Secretary (Sekda) of West Java Province, Setiawan Wangsaatmaja, said that his party was conducting employee mapping regarding the plan to eliminate honorary workers in the government starting November 28, 2023.

"So the PPK, Regional Secretary, Organizational Bureau, and BKD will map the current employees," said Setiawan Wangsaatmaja after attending a leadership meeting at the Sate Bandung building as reported by Antara, Monday, June 6.

He said that related to government employees with contract agreements (PPPK), his party will only conduct discussions on this matter on Tuesday (7/6).

According to Setiawan, the employee mapping is needed to see to what extent the West Java provincial government honorariums will be tested to become PPPK and their placement.

"So later we will test maybe it can become a PPPK according to the needs of the organizational unit," he said.

Setiawan said that there were several keywords that were directed by the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Tjahjo Kumolo regarding this matter which would be discussed on Tuesday (7/6).

Previously, the Minister for Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB) Tjahjo Kumolo appealed to government agency Personnel Development Officials (PPK) to determine the employment status of non-ASN employees (non-PNS, non-PPPK, and ex-Honorary Personnel Category II) at least. no later than November 28, 2023.

This is stated in the Letter of the Minister of PANRB No. B/185/M.SM.02.03/2022 regarding Employment Status in Central Government Agencies and Regional Governments. Tjahjo's statement was quoted on the official website of the PAN-RB Ministry.

Tjahjo hopes that PPK will take strategic steps to resolve non-ASN employees who do not meet the requirements or do not pass the selection of PNS and PPPK candidates in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations before the deadline of November 28, 2023.

Appointment of employees through the pattern of outsourcing or "outsourcing" as needed is expected to be carried out taking into account finances and in accordance with the characteristics of each ministry/institution/region (K/L/D).

"So PPK at K/L/D can still employ 'outsourcing' according to their needs, not be removed immediately," said Tjahjo.

Government agencies that require other personnel such as drivers, cleaners, and security units can be done through outsourcing by a third party.

Minister Tjahjo revealed that the government pays special attention to the completion and handling of honorary staff who have served in government agencies.

This step, according to him, was carried out in line with the implementation of bureaucratic reform, in particular structuring the human resources of the apparatus and strengthening the organization of government agencies.

Strategic and significant steps have been taken by the government to handle honorary staff in accordance with the agreement with the DPR RI (7 Joint Commissions of the DPR RI, namely Commissions I, II, III, VIII, IX, X, and XI).
