Pramono: WFH for Civil Servants Does Not Apply to Agencies Like Satpol PP and Fire Department

Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung stated that several agencies related to public services will not implement the work-from-home (WFH) policy every Friday. The Jakarta Provincial Government will also monitor the implementation of WFH for civil servants (ASN). “Middle-level and entry-level officials, as well as those involved in public services such as Satpol PP, the Transportation Department, Health Department, and Gulkarmat (Fire Department) will continue to carry out their duties as usual,” Pramono said at Jakarta City Hall on Wednesday (1/4/2026). Meanwhile, the WFH policy for ASN will apply to administrative work. Pramono said his side will regulate the proportion of ASN working from home with a specific scheme. According to him, there is no definite limit from the central government, so the Jakarta Provincial Government sets the WFH range between 25 and 50 percent. “The minimum is 25 percent up to 50 percent; within that range, it will be regulated. Work from home will be prepared by Mr. Secretary General together with the Head of BKD, and there will be a Governor’s decree for it,” Pramono explained. Even when working from home, he ensured that ASN must still conduct attendance. The attendance system will be carried out via mobile using devices already owned by the Jakarta Provincial Government. Monitoring of ASN will also be carried out strictly by the Regional Civil Service Agency (BKD). ASN who violate WFH rules will face firm sanctions.
