JATENG - The Central Java Provincial Government (Pemprov) ensures that it will not implement work flexibility for the state civil apparatus (ASN) with a work from anywhere (WFA) formula ahead of the 2025 Eid holiday.
Central Java Regional Secretary Sumarno explained that the WFA proposed by the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) aims to reduce the density of homecoming and return flow, especially for ASN who work in Jakarta.
"WFA is related to homecoming from Jakarta to the regions. If the Central Java Provincial Government ASN does not go home, we will handle travelers. If it's WFA, no one will even be on duty," he said, March 12, confiscated by Antara.
In a coordination meeting with the Ministry of Transportation, he said, the WFA policy was more relevant to the ASN in DKI Jakarta to reduce the surge in travelers during the homecoming and backflow of Lebaran 1446 Hijri.
He added that the implementation of WFA also does not need to be implemented within the scope of the Central Java Provincial Government because there has been a long holiday that has been set by the government.
The long holiday schedule that has been set, starting with a school holiday on March 22, 2025, followed by the ASN holiday and BUMN employees on March 24, 2025.
Moreover, he said, the long holiday period continued until the celebration of Nyepi and Eid al-Fitr 1446 Hijriah.
As an area that is one of the main destinations for travelers, he said that his party was actually preparing various strategic steps to ensure the smooth flow of homecoming and public services during the Eid holiday period.
"With a long holiday schedule, we think the WFA policy is not really needed within the scope of the Central Java Provincial Government," said Sumarno.
