WL! Lebaran THR For Baubau City Government ASN Starts To Be Paid, Fastest H-10

BAUBAU - The City Government of Baubau, Southeast Sulawesi, has started paying Eid al-Fitr holiday allowances (THR) for state civil servants (ASN) within the scope of the regional government. The total THR that will be given is IDR 18 billion.

"We have started paying the THR today, earlier there were around nine OPD that had been disbursed, and others are also currently taking care of the request," said Head of the Baubau Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) Yulia Widiarti in Baubau, quoted from Antara, Friday. , April 22.

THR payments as stipulated in PP 16/2022 regarding THR and the salaries of the 13 ASN, retirees, pension recipients, and allowance recipients signed by President Joko Widodo, he said, should be paid no later than the 10th of Eid.

"So today it has started (to be paid). So specifically for the THR that we are distributing now, it is approximately Rp. 18 billion," he said.

In addition to the THR technical guidelines, said Yulia, Baubau Mayor La Ode Ahmad Monianse has also signed a Mayor's Regulation (Perwali) regarding technical instructions for paying the 13th salary or costs earmarked for education in July, which is also around Rp. 18 billion.

"So what we paid (THR) was first, in the future (the 13th salary) we just have to pay, because there is a Perwali as well," said the former Head of the Baubau Housing and Settlement Area.

While the performance allowance or TPP, he continued, his party was still waiting for approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs to pay the additional income of the employee.

"So that's what we paid first, even if later the TPP has been issued (approved by the Ministry of Home Affairs) we will recalculate and pay the 50 percent shortfall, because the salaries of the 13 components are also an additional 50 percent, so maybe we will pay it at the time of salary. 13 later," he said.

His party also has not confirmed the amount of the budget that will be disbursed for the TPP because the additional 50 percent of the budget has not been budgeted, while the habit that is budgeted every year is only the 3rd and 14th salaries, and the nominal is almost the same as the salary received per month.

Currently, with the regulations, he said, it is possible for his party to issue a maximum of 50 percent of the TPP, but a shift will be made later with regulations if the regional revenue and expenditure budget (APBD) funds are not sufficient for that.

"So this is while our fellow planners are making a shift, because now there is a rule that allows us to issue a maximum of 50 percent of the TPP, so we will make a shift later. That's why we maximize the existing budget first or we make a shift before the change from BTT funds exists," he said.

As for the early payment of THR, according to him, because the central government is "concerned" with the payment of THR because one of its objectives is economic recovery, so it is very prioritized.

"The provision of THR is budgeted not only for ASN, but also mayors, regional secretaries, and members of the Baubau DPRD," he said.
