FAQ What benefits do part-time PPPK employees receive? Are part-time PPPK employees included as ASN? Will part-time PPPK employees receive THR?

The government is currently finalizing the scheme for distributing Eid al-Fitr bonuses (THR) to civil servants in anticipation of Eid al-Fitr 2026. A substantial budget allocation has been prepared to ensure the welfare of civil servants (ASN) is maintained. However, a major question has emerged among employees regarding THR for part-time PPPK employees.

The legal status of part-time PPPK employees as part of the ASN has indeed been officially regulated in law. Nevertheless, the mechanism for providing these annual allowances still refers to the technical regulations issued by the government each year. This has sparked heated discussion regarding the criteria for length of service and workload, which serve as the basis for calculating the nominal amount for each individual.

Are you among those included in this year’s THR recipients, or are you still awaiting confirmation of the latest regulations? Let’s examine in depth the THR policy for 2026 and the rights of part-time PPPK employees in the following article!

Key points:

  • As of February 2026, there are no specific regulations mandating THR for part-time PPPK employees; current regulations still focus on full-time employment mechanisms.

  • The government is preparing funds of IDR 55 trillion for the 2026 ASN THR, an increase of 10.22% from the previous year to maintain people’s purchasing power.

  • The salary for part-time PPPK employees refers to the Decree of the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (KepmenPANRB) Number 16 of 2025, adjusted to the budget capacity of the agency and the regional minimum wage (UMP/UMK).

Will Part-Time PPPK Employees Receive THR in 2026?

As of this writing on Sunday (February 22, 2026), there are no specific regulations governing the provision of Eid al-Fitr bonuses (THR) for part-time contract government employees (PPPK). Information on the official website of the Indonesian Ministry of Finance regarding THR rights in official regulations still focuses on state officials with full-time employment mechanisms.

Based on the applicable regulations, PPPK employees are part of the civil service as explained in Law Number 20 of 2023 concerning Civil Servants. The provisions for providing THR generally refer to Government Regulations (PP) issued officially each year.

For full-time PPPK employees, there are absolute requirements to be eligible for this right. The following is an overview of the full-time mechanism rules as a reference.

  1. Requirements for Receiving Salary and Allowances

Full-time PPPK employees can receive salaries and allowances if they have three complete documents. These documents include the Employment Agreement, the Decree on Appointment, and the Statement of Performing Duties (SPMT). Salaries are paid in the relevant month if the PPPK employee starts working on the first working day of that month.

  1. Requirements for Being Entitled to Receive THR

A person is categorized as being entitled to receive THR if they meet two main requirements. First, they must receive income in the month specified as the basis for calculation according to the Government Regulation. Second, they must have worked for at least one calendar month before the holiday.

  1. Payment Amount Mechanism

The amount of THR for full-time PPPK employees depends heavily on their length of service. For those who have worked for one year or more, they are entitled to receive THR in full, amounting to 100 percent. This is based on the components of one month’s income received.

  1. Proportional Calculation

For full-time PPPK employees with less than one year of service, THR is provided proportionally. The calculation formula is the number of months worked divided by twelve, then multiplied by one month’s income. This provision aims to provide fair compensation according to the length of service.

The government, through the Ministry of Finance, has given a positive signal regarding the readiness of funds for holiday allowances this year. Quoted from detikFinance, Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa stated that the government is allocating a budget of IDR 55 trillion for this purpose. This substantial budget is specifically prepared for civil servants, including members of the TNI and Polri.

The allocation of these funds has increased by 10.22 percent compared to the budget in the previous period. This step is part of the state budget strategy to strengthen people’s purchasing power at the beginning of the year. Through this policy, it is hoped that the momentum of economic growth in the first quarter of 2026 will remain stable.

Regarding the timing of disbursement, the government is striving to ensure that the funds are deposited into employees’ accounts soon. The disbursement process is planned to be carried out earlier to help meet needs in anticipation of the holiday. The Minister of Finance hopes that the distribution of these funds can be carried out at the beginning of the fasting month this year.

“I don’t know the exact date, but we hope it can be disbursed at the beginning of the fasting month,” said Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa.

The government affirms that the provision of these allowances is a form of appreciation for the dedication of state officials. This budget certainty is expected to provide peace of mind for ASN in carrying out their duties in the midst of preparations for the religious holidays. Synergy between fiscal policy and employee compensation is key to maintaining economic activity in society.

“THR for ASN/TNI/Polri is IDR 55 trillion,” reads the presentation material of Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa at the Indonesia Economic Outlook event.
