13,970 Part-Time Government Contract Workers in Bima Regency Denied Holiday Allowance, Salaries Still Outstanding
Approximately 13,970 part-time Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK) employed by Bima Regency Administration will not receive holiday allowances (THR) in 2026. Additionally, their salaries remain unpaid to date.
“That is correct,” confirmed Suryadin, the spokesperson for Bima Regency Administration, when contacted by detikBali on Thursday, 12 March 2026.
According to Suryadin, part-time PPPK workers are excluded from holiday allowances because such payments are not included in the salary scheme. He noted that the compensation structure for part-time PPPK differs from that of full-time PPPK and permanent civil servants (PNS).
Regarding salaries, Suryadin explained that the Regional Personnel, Education and Training Board (BKD-Diklat) of Bima Regency is currently conducting employee data reconciliation procedures. This is necessary to issue employment contracts that serve as the basis for salary claims by regional bodies and relevant work units.
“Once all employment decision letters (SK) have been distributed to part-time PPPK workers, salaries can then be paid,” Suryadin stated.
Suryadin assured that the salaries of part-time PPPK workers employed across all work units of Bima Regency Administration will eventually be paid. The funding has already been allocated in the 2026 Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD).
“In short, salaries will be paid. The budget has also been allocated in the 2026 APBD. However, I cannot recall the exact amount,” Suryadin said.
According to Suryadin, the funding sources for part-time PPPK salaries comprise General Allocation Funds (DAU) for technical personnel, School Operational Assistance funds (BOS) for teaching staff, and Regional General Service Agency budgets (BLUD) for employees working in respective BLUD organisations or health centres.
The 13,970 honorary workers in Bima Regency officially became part-time PPPK on 19 January 2026. Their projected salaries vary between 300,000 and 2 million rupiah per month.
