        "summary": "The Indonesian Ministry of Manpower has urged state-owned enterprises, regional enterprises, and private companies to implement work from home (WFH) for one day per week, excluding essential sectors such as healthcare, energy, infrastructure, retail, manufacturing, hospitality, food and beverage, transportation, logistics, and finance. Minister Yassierli emphasised that the implementation details are left to individual companies, with agreements involving workers or unions, and assured that wages and other rights remain unchanged during WFH. This policy, outlined in a ministerial circular, aims to optimise energy use amid rising global oil prices due to Middle East geopolitical tensions.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Manpower has urged State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs),\nRegional-Owned Enterprises (ROEs), and private businesses to implement\nwork from home (WFH) for one day per week. Manpower Minister Yassierli\nstated that several sectors are exempted from WFH. \u201cThe technical\nimplementation of WFH is regulated by each company,\u201d he said during a\npress conference on Wednesday, 1 March 2026. The sectors in question\ninclude healthcare, hospitals, clinics, medical personnel, and\npharmaceuticals; energy, oil and gas fuels, and electricity;\ninfrastructure and public services, toll roads, clean water, and waste\ntransportation. In addition, the retail or trade sector, basic goods,\ndirect trade services, markets and shopping areas; the industrial and\nfactory production sector, and industries requiring physical presence\nfor machine operations and production; the services sector, hospitality,\ntourism, security, and hospitality. Also, the food and beverage sector,\nrestaurants, cafes, and culinary businesses. The transportation and\nlogistics sector, passenger transport, goods transport, warehousing, and\ndelivery services. The financial sector, banking, non-bank financial\ninstitutions, insurance, capital markets, and stock exchanges. Yassierli\nurged companies to involve workers or labour unions in planning WFH. The\nselection of the WFH day can be mutually agreed upon and does not have\nto align with civil servants (ASN) who implement it every Friday. \u201cIf we\nwant to align with our ASN colleagues, the option can be Friday,\u201d he\nsaid. During WFH, Yassierli stated, wages or salaries and other workers\u2019\nrights will continue to be paid as per regulations. Furthermore, the\nimplementation of WFH does not reduce annual leave; workers or labourers\nimplementing WFH still carry out their work according to their duties\nand obligations, and companies must ensure that performance,\nproductivity, and service quality remain maintained. If there are labour\nviolations, he urged workers to report through the Lapor Menaker\nchannel. He stated that no employee rights may be reduced during the\nimplementation of WFH. \u201cWe have the Lapor Menaker channel, and then our\nsupervisors will follow up,\u201d he said. The WFH provisions are regulated\nin the Minister of Manpower\u2019s Circular Letter Number M\/6\/HK.04\/III\/2026\nconcerning Work From Home and the Workplace Energy Optimisation\nProgramme. This implementation aims to save energy consumption at the\nworkplace due to the impact of geopolitical conflicts in the Middle\nEast, which have caused oil prices in the global market to surge.<\/p>",
