Universitas Padjadjaran or Unpad is implementing work from home (WFH)\nfor the academic community every Friday starting this week, 10 April\n2026. According to Unpad Rector Arief S. Kartasasmita, the WFH policy is\nissued to anticipate the global energy crisis.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf working in cafes and other places, it will not solve the problem\nof reducing energy needs,\u201d he said on Wednesday, 8 April 2026.<\/p>\n
According to Arief, those who will work WFH for one day every Friday\nare the administrative sector. Lectures that do not require direct\nexpertise, field practice, or laboratory work can also be conducted via\nWFH. The Rector urged lecturers and educational staff to work from home,\nnot in cafes or other places outside the campus.<\/p>\n
The Unpad WFH regulation was issued by Vice Rector for Resources and\nGovernance Widya Setiabudi Sumadinata through Circular Number\n1198\/UN6.WR4\/TU.00\/2026 on Work Pattern Adjustments. The provision,\nwhich was disseminated to the campus academic community on 7 April,\nrefers to the Circular from the Minister of Higher Education, Science,\nand Technology of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2026 on Work\nPattern Adjustments and Academic Activities.<\/p>\n
The circular states that WFH is applied to the entire academic\ncommunity and educational staff, especially those working in the\nadministrative field. For lecturers and educational staff who have\nFriday schedules related to laboratory work, WFH implementation can be\nshifted to another day with further arrangements in their respective\nwork units.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor academics, especially laboratory lectures both at undergraduate\nand postgraduate levels, particularly the specialist medical education\nprogramme (PPDS), everything is offline or not online,\u201d said Widya.<\/p>\n
According to her, Unpad does not go as far as changing laboratory\nactivities, especially in exact science study programmes on WFH days,\nbut rather rotates shifts for educational staff. \u201cThis WFH will be\nevaluated in the next month to see if it continues or returns to\nnormal,\u201d said Widya. Meanwhile, regarding attendance or presence during\nWFH, its implementation is like during the previous Covid-19\npandemic.<\/p>\n
Employee attendance through digital logbook reports, while for\nacademic activities via reports to the integrated academic information\nsystem. \u201cThe attendance system remains the same, counted twice in one\nday at the start and end of work, with reports arranged by each work\nunit,\u201d said Widya.<\/p>\n
Head of Unpad\u2019s Public Communication Office Dandi Supriadi added that\nthe scheduling arrangements for educational staff shifts are left to the\nrespective work unit leaders, while still paying attention to the smooth\nprovision of services to the academic community and the public. For\nlectures, they will be arranged by the respective lecturers to be\nsocialised to their students.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/unpad-implements-wfh-every-friday-starting-this-week-1775638366", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
