JAKARTA - Yesterday, the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, broadcast a video of himself carrying out impromptu inspections (sidak) in a number of offices in the capital city and imposed a temporary closure.

This is a warning to companies outside the essential sector who are still stubborn about asking their employees to work in the office or work from office (WFO) during the Emergency PPKM period.

In uploading a video on his Instagram, Anies inspected two non-essential offices in the Sahid Sudirman Center building. Anies entered the offices of Ray White Indonesia and PT Equity Life Indonesia and found that there were employees working in the offices.

"I ask everyone, don't imitate what happened, we just saw," said Anies

"These are irresponsible people. People who choose to make their employees take risks. This violation is not just a violation of regulations made by the government, but this is a violation of humanitarian responsibility," said Anies on his Instagram account. , Tuesday, July 6th.

Anies met with the company's officials. Annoyed, Anies said the company had no responsibility and violated the Emergency PPKM rules.

"I told the manager earlier, make rules to protect employees and the owner must be responsible. The owner should not take shelter at home, isolate at home, but the workers are told to go to work," he continued.

Anies was even more furious to see an employee who was pregnant but still asked to work in the office. "There are pregnant women who are still working. I have warned the human resources manager. Protect women, protect pregnant women, they shouldn't go to work like this," said Anies.

It would be dangerous, said Anies, if pregnant women were exposed to COVID-19 just because they were forced by the WFO. This is because this vulnerable group, if infected with the corona virus, will experience high complications.

"This violation is not just a violation of regulations made by the government, but this is a violation of humanitarian responsibility," he said.

Offices that violated were immediately sealed, their offices closed, all employees were sent home to work from home and the owner/manager of the office was prosecuted by the police.

"Be individuals who obey the law, not just obey law enforcement. Be individuals who help protect our brothers and sisters, don't expose our brothers and sisters. Let's take this seriously, God willing, this can speed up the difficult times over," he said.

He added that non-essential and critical companies that still apply for their employees to enter the office must report to the JAKI application. Anies said the identity of the whistleblower will be kept confidential and the company will be dealt with.

PT Equity Life Indonesia has opened its voice over the incident of an impromptu inspection (sidak) carried out by the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan to his office today.

During the inspection, Anies said that Equity Life Indonesia violated the rules because it still ordered its employees to work in the office during Emergency PPKM.

Corporate Communication of PT Equity Life Indonesia Yuliarti, claimed that his office had complied with the rules. Because, according to Yuliarti, this insurance company is engaged in the essential sector.

"PT Equity Life Indonesia and its marketing offices are life insurance companies that are included in the essential business sector based on the provisions of the Minister of Home Affairs Instruction Number 15 of 2021 and the Decree of the Governor of DKI Number 875," said Yuliarti.

Therefore, Yuliarti said her company was still implementing work from office (WFH) with a capacity of 50 percent.

"For this reason, we continue to open limited marketing and service offices throughout Indonesia during the implementation of this PPKM restriction. We ensure that in carrying out business and operational activities we always comply with the provisions set by the government," he said.

Yuliarti also admitted that currently her office was temporarily sealed by the DKI Provincial Government. However, no other sanctions have been imposed after the inspection incident. "There is no sanction yet. From the legal side (the company) no one has said anything, really," he said.

Meanwhile, for Ray White's company, the police investigated the person in charge of the company at Polda Metro Jaya.

"For now, Ray White is still being asked for information," said Director of the General Criminal Investigation of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Tubagus Ade Hidayat to reporters, Tuesday, July 6.

Those responsible for being examined are company managers and HRD. However, a number of employees were also asked for information to seek information on the reasons why the company is still operating.

Because Ray White is not a company that is included in the critical and essential sector. Moreover, there is a growing suspicion that many employees are forced to continue working during the Emergency PPKM.

"Everything (checked)," he said.

For information, the government requires 100 percent WFH for non-essential companies during emergency PPKM. Then, for essential sector offices, a maximum of 50 percent of work from office (WFO) employees are applied with a health protocol and for critical sectors a maximum of 100 percent of WFO employees are allowed with a health protocol.
