Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) finally signed regulations related to wages and benefits for government employees with labor agreements (PPPK) or honorary workers. With this, PPPK employees can breathe easy because they get a higher base salary, even from ASN.
Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Minister Tjahjo Kumolo said the regulation was awaiting promulgation.
“It remains only to promulgate and announce,” Tjahjo said when speaking with CNBC Indonesia Quoted on Saturday (3/10/2020).
Discussions on the Draft Presidential Regulations (Perpres) regarding PPPK salaries and benefits have been discussed for a long time. Approximately 51 thousand honorary officials who have passed the PPPK selection are awaiting the issuance of this regulation.
KemenPANRB has previously explained exhaustively the development of these regulations.
Initially, PPPK’s salaries and benefits were the same as those of public servants (PNS), including TNI and Polri. However, the authority of the state apparatus proposes to provide higher salaries and allowances to PPPK.
“Various alternative solutions are offered so that the standard amount of salaries and bonuses that PPPK receives is the same as that of the salaries and bonuses of public officials. Therefore, an alternative is taken to provide a salary amount different from the amount of the basic salary of public officials, ”he said.
One of the policy considerations refers to Government Regulation (PP) 80/2010 regarding withholding rates and the imposition of article 21 of income tax on income by APBN and APBD.
In the PP, it is explained that article 21 of the PPh for officials, members of TNI and Polri, which is established in ordinary and regular income each month, is borne by the APBN and APBD.
However, the PP is not explained in detail regarding the PPPK. Therefore, this will reduce the PPPK salary and benefits that should be received equal to the salary of public servants.
However, how much income does PPPK actually receive?
As of now, it is not known exactly how much PPPK’s salary or benefits are. The reason is that the Perpres will then comprehensively regulate wages and benefits.
However, there is a small description of the amount of PPPK income according to the main permit for the amount of PPPK salaries and allowances issued by the Minister of Finance dated December 27, 2019.
“PPPK salaries are converted from the base salary of officials based on class / space / work period in groups I to XVII with a maximum period of work of 33 years, plus a tax factor of 15%”, wrote letter number 952 / MK / 02/2019.
In the letter signed by Sri Mulyani Indrawati, the lowest average base salary for the K2 honorary PPPK is Rs 2.99 crore for a 15-year working period. Meanwhile, the working period for 32 years is 4.87 million rupees.
However, it is not yet known how much salary and allowances the PPPK will receive in Perpres. However, the government had previously said that PPPK’s salaries and benefits would be the same as those of civil servants.
In other words, the issuance of this regulation will further clarify the revenue that PPPK receives.
