Working hours<\/p>\n
From Kompas<\/p>\n
Recently the government issued a Presidential Decree Keppres
\nNo. 68\/1995 concerning the new working hours for government
\ninstitutions. The decree stipulates that government offices open
\nat 7:30 (it used to be 8:00). This new time schedule is hard for
\nthe civil servants, particularly those who work in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
As we all know, with the continuous growth of office buildings
\nin Jakarta, many office workers choose to live outside Jakarta.
\nThey have to travel one to two hours to get to their place of
\nwork by public transportation. This means that the civil servants
\nhave to leave home much earlier without caring for breakfast. The
\nsituation is even worse for a working couple.<\/p>\n
The first thing the employees do as soon as they arrive at the
\noffice is to get something to eat in the office canteen or food
\nstalls nearby. They obviously have to increase their budget for
\nmeals, while their salaries remain the same. Under these
\ncircumstances, in all probability, their work ethic will further
\ndecline.<\/p>\n
Bearing this situation in mind, it would wise for the
\ngovernment to review the office time schedule in Jakarta. The old
\npractice (8:00 to 16:30) is more convenient, with a break of 45
\nminutes for lunch.<\/p>\n
