Following Central Decision, Pramono Prepares Technical Regulations for DKI ASN WFH Every Friday

The Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov DKI) is beginning to prepare technical regulations regarding the work-from-home (WFH) policy every Friday, which was previously established by the central government. Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung stated that the provincial government will follow up on that decision gradually. Pramono expressed gratitude that the WFH designation is on Friday, not Wednesday, because Jakarta has routine agendas related to public transportation. “Of course, we are grateful it’s not on Wednesday. Because if it were Wednesday, it would also cause complications for Jakarta due to the public transportation day,” Pramono said in the Menteng area, Central Jakarta, on Wednesday (1/4/2026). Pramono mentioned that his side will detail the division of ASN who can WFH and those who must continue working from the office. Today, Pemprov DKI held a plenary meeting to finalise the list of agencies and units that will follow the Friday WFH. “We will detail who can work from home (WFH) on that Friday. Because public services must not be disrupted,” he emphasised. Pramono stressed that the public services sector cannot implement WFH because it requires physical presence in the field. He gave examples of health, education, and social services sectors. “For example, health affairs, social assistance, education that indeed must be in the field. So we arrange for them to continue working as usual,” he explained. He detailed that 44 puskesmas, 292 puskesmas pembantu, and 31 hospitals in Jakarta will operate normally and cannot WFH. “It’s not possible to delegate. But for the agency itself, it can, because that’s administrative matters,” he added. Pramono also assured that Pemprov DKI will install several regulatory signs to prevent the Friday WFH policy from being misused. One of them is the prohibition on ASN who are WFH from travelling using private vehicles. “Including the use of private vehicles during work from home is not allowed,” he emphasised. He reminded that all DKI ASN have already received free public transportation facilities, so this rule will serve as a basis for supervision. Regarding supervision to ensure ASN are truly working from home, Pramono mentioned that the Regional Personnel Agency (BKD) will regulate it further. “BKD will regulate that. Coincidentally, we have a meeting about this today at 09.30,” he said. Pemprov DKI plans to soon finalise those WFH technical regulations in the near future before they are fully implemented next Friday. It is known that the government has established a work-from-home (WFH) policy for civil servants (ASN) every Friday. This work scheme is implemented as a response to the impacts of the Middle East conflict.
