Klungkung Regency Government (Pemkab Klungkung) has begun implementing a work-from-home (WFH) policy on Friday, 10 April 2026. A total of 3,892 out of 6,930 civil servants (ASN) within Pemkab Klungkung are permitted not to come to the office and to work from home. “This number excludes some employees in service units such as BPBD, Fire Department, Dukcapil, and other service units that directly meet public needs,” said Acting Head of BKPSDM Klungkung AA Istri Alit Pramawati on Thursday (9/4/2024). Pramawati explained that the WFH policy does not apply to employees in the education and health sectors. Similarly, for echelon II officials. In addition to implementing WFH, Pemkab Klungkung will also impose restrictions on domestic official travel. Furthermore, restrictions on the use of official vehicles by 50 percent. Pramawati reminded ASNs carrying out official duties via WFH to maximise the use of electronic-based government systems (SPBE). The conduct of meetings, technical guidance, seminars, training, or other gatherings will also be increasingly conducted online or in hybrid mode. “ASNs are also required to be responsive to communications via WhatsApp, telephone, or virtual office applications,” Pramawati explained.
