JAKARTA - The Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (MenPAN-RB) Tjahjo Kumolo opens the possibility of implementing a 2-shift work system for state civil servants (ASN) and private workers. This policy was carried out to anticipate a build-up in the number of public vehicle users, especially commuter lines during the COVID-19 period.

This policy emerged after KemenPAN-RB held a coordination meeting with representatives from a number of ministries, such as the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture (Kemenko PMK), the Ministry of Manpower, the Ministry of BUMN, and BNPB.

"As a result, in principle we agreed to prepare a work system of shift one at 07.30 to 15.30 and shift two at 10.00 to 17.30," said Tjahjo in his written statement, Thursday, June 11.

When this policy is implemented, the shift system will be managed separately. For ASN, said Tjahjo, a circular will be issued by the ministry. Meanwhile, for BUMN employees, the letter will be issued by the Ministry of BUMN.

"For private employees, the shift work system will be regulated by a Circular of the Minister of Manpower," he said.

However, before the circular was published, Tjahjo said, there would be a survey and simulation first. This is done so that the policies stated in the circular can effectively solve the problem of the accumulation of passengers coming from workers. public transportation operators, such as commuter lines, will also conduct surveys on the number of passengers based on their occupation.

"The Secretary General will be asked for data on the number of employees who work WFO (Work From Office) every day," he said.

Tjahjo said that this meeting also produced other alternatives. For private workers, for example, the implementation of shift can be done on Monday to Friday or on Monday and Friday.

Meanwhile, the next alternative is a combination of existing alternatives. For example, imposing this shift for ASN, Polri, and TNI as well as private workers is only valid for certain days.

This work shift policy, said Tjahjo, could be implemented in areas that are still prone to transmission of COVID-19.

"We propose that the policy be implemented for regions that impose PSBB and / or red status according to the Task Force," he concluded.
