JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will again hold a focus group discussion (FGD) with relevant stakeholders to discuss plans for regulating working hours in Jakarta.
The regulation of working hours is based on the government's efforts to unravel congestion. Previously, this FGD had been carried out in early November 2022.
"The plan is for the FGD on the 17th (May) next week, to involve all stakeholders, be it from shopping center associations, building management associations, NGOs, the bike to work community, public transportation operators, HIPMI, including Indonesian employers' associations. So, we can get a complete picture of the arrangement of working hours," said Syafrin at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday, May 10.
Syafrin said, the FGD for the second working hours will discuss more deeply the mechanism for dividing the working entry time of the employees. The provincial government will also ask for input regarding the working patterns of employees, both ASN and private.
"Of course we hope that this will be discussed in more detail on the implementation of the FGD for handling congestion later. We are also open to accepting suggestions, constructive input so that solving problems related to congestion can be overcome together," explained Syafrin.
For information, the discourse on regulating working hours for DKI Jakarta was proposed by the Director of Traffic of the Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Latif Usman. He said the working hours were made as an effort to reduce congestion by preventing people from doing activities at the same time.
Some time ago, Latif said, the percentage of road congestion in Jakarta currently reaches 48 percent at leaving and returning from work so that it creates extraordinary and uncomfortable congestion for all road users.

Then, the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency accommodates input made by a number of parties regarding plans to regulate working hours in Jakarta to relieve congestion through FGD on November 1, 2022.
One of the concerns is the need for regulations that regulate the implementation of the division of working hours for employees in Jakarta.
Because, it was revealed that the division of working hours for company employees did not have a legal basis. Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation (UU LLAJ) does not regulate efforts to reduce congestion by determining working hours.
"Looking at the experts who submitted (input), indeed to overcome congestion in the arrangement of working hours, if it is related to Law Number 22 of 2009 there is none," said Deputy Head of DKI Transportation Agency Chaidir at the Jatibaru Technical Service building, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, November 1.
As a result, at that time the DKI Transportation Agency opened the possibility to make arrangements for working hours for private office employees in Jakarta limited to appeals.
"That's why it's better to advise the private sector, please set each working hours in the stakeholders who oversee all levels of employees," said Chaidir.
Meanwhile, at the central government office located in Jakarta, working hours arrangements can be carried out flexibly by issuing new regulations by the Ministry of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (Kemenpan RB).
For employees of the DKI Provincial Government office, Chaidir revealed another opportunity so that working hours can be implemented, namely with regional head regulations such as governor regulations (pergub) or governor's decisions (kepgub).
"Later, it is possible that we will discuss it again if we apply it to ASN environments in DKI, outside the ministry. Later we will see the shape, whether it is in the form of an appeal, a governor's regulation, or a governor's decree," he said.
