TANGERANG - Mayor of South Tangerang, Benyamin Davnie instructed state civil servants (ASN) in his area to provide Household Assistants (ART) at his home to provide BPJS for employment and health insurance.

This is done because seeing the potential for accidents and the workload of ART is quite heavy. However, it is minimal in job safety and health protection.

"I will issue instructions so that ASN can insure workers to be paid, at least for insurance for death and insurance for work accidents," said Benjamin at the South Tangerang Government Center, Wednesday, February 28.

He also said that the BPJS insurance briefing provided would start at the ASN level first. If later this program goes well, he will apply it to all employees within the Tangsel City Government.

Benjamin targets, for the initial stage of this program, 20 thousand workers employed by ASN can be covered in BPJS insurance.

"If this program is responded well, I will continue to other employees, whether the status of PPPK, TKS, and so on. As long as the criteria for these supporters get wages from them," he said.
