Ministry of PANRB: ASN WFH Is Not a Holiday!

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Ministry of State Apparatus Utilization and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB) has emphasised that the work-from-home (WFH) policy for civil servants (ASN) every Friday is not a holiday. This clarification was conveyed by the Ministry of PANRB through a post on its official Instagram account @kemenpanrb. “WFH Is Not a Holiday: ASN must report performance results and remain under leader supervision,” reads the caption in the @kemenpanrb Instagram post, quoted on Thursday (2/4/2026). The letter, effective from 1 April 2026, contains five key points regarding the WFH policy for ASN every Friday. “New Work Scheme: Implementation of 4 days work from office (Monday-Thursday) and 1 day work from home (Friday),” states the Ministry of PANRB post. The Ministry of PANRB also emphasised that WFH every Friday by ASN must be carried out at home, residence, or domicile. “Through this policy, we encourage the implementation of official duties that are more efficient, effective, adaptive, and digital-based, thereby increasing ASN productivity and the quality of public services sustainably,” said Rini. “Work flexibility must still align with the achievement of performance targets. The main focus remains on output and outcome, not on the work location,” Rini stressed.
