  • The Natuna Regency government in Riau Islands Province has confirmed budget availability for the salaries of Part-Time PPPK (Government Employees with Work Agreements) in 2027.
  • The budget is estimated to be nearly Rp40 billion to cover the salaries of approximately 2,203 Part-Time PPPK employees.
  • This arrangement is part of a national adjustment to the status of non-ASN (civil servant) employees, aligning with the new Law on State Civil Apparatus.

The Natuna Regency government, located in the Riau Islands Province, has assured that sufficient funds are allocated for the salaries of its Part-Time Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK) through 2027. Suryanto, the Head of the Regional Financial and Revenue Management Agency (BPKPD) of Natuna, confirmed on Wednesday that the budget is prepared, estimating a need of nearly Rp40 billion to cover these personnel costs.

The contracts of our Part-Time PPPK colleagues will continue in 2027.

Suryanto stated that the contracts for these Part-Time PPPK employees will be extended into 2027. The contract scheme currently operates on a one-year basis, with extensions contingent upon performance evaluations conducted by the leadership within each regional device organization (OPD). While these employees hold the status of state civil apparatus (ASN), their salary structure differs from that of general ASN employees and does not include additional income like the TPP (Employee Income Supplement).

For this year, the contract period is until October and will be extended again.

This adjustment in status for non-ASN employees is in line with Law Number 20 of 2023 concerning State Civil Apparatus. The new regulation prohibits government agencies from hiring non-ASN personnel, thus necessitating the conversion of their status to Part-Time PPPK. Currently, Natuna Regency employs a total of 2,203 Part-Time PPPK, in addition to permanent civil servants (PNS) and Full-Time PPPK, as part of its ASN workforce.

According to the central government's orders, government agencies are no longer allowed to hire non-ASN personnel. Therefore, their status is adjusted to ASN through the Part-Time PPPK scheme.
