JAKARTA - PT Equity Life Indonesia refuted DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan's statement that his company asked pregnant employees to continue working in the office or work from office (WFO).
During an impromptu inspection yesterday, Anies admitted that he was furious because Equity Life Indonesia forced pregnant employees to work in the office.
However, PT Equity Life Indonesia's Corporate Communication Yuliarti emphasized that the pregnant employee came to the office only to take care of maternity leave.
"When (the inspection) there was a pregnant employee, it was true. But not in the context of being forced to work. She was taking leave. She was 8 months pregnant. There is an internal (company) provision that pregnant people must be 100 percent WFH. journalists, Tuesday, July 6th.
Yuliarti admitted that her party did ask a number of its employees to work in the office. However, he claims his company has complied with the PPKM Daruat 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 (WFO) 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.
Previously, Anies admitted that he was upset to see a number of companies violating the Emergency PPKM. Anies discovered this violation during an impromptu inspection (sidak) with the police, the DKI Manpower and Transmigration Agency, and Satpol PP. In fact, Anies saw that there were employees who were pregnant but were still asked to work in the office.
"There are pregnant women who are still working. I have warned the human resources manager. The workers are told to work every day, the risk is that the company owner is not responsible," said Anies in his Instagram account.
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.
During the inspection, Anies sprayed HRD and the company's top brass. Anies said, they are educated people who are not responsible. This is because the boss of this company not only violates the rules, but also doesn't think about safety.
"These are irresponsible people. People who choose to make their employees take risks. Earlier, the office told them to close all employees to go home, immediately processed by law, including the police, they will proceed criminally, because they violate the law. epidemic," he explained.
