  • The West Java provincial government instructed civil servants to adopt a work-from-anywhere (WFA) policy after noon on Wednesday.
  • This measure is in anticipation of a large demonstration in Bandung.
  • The WFA policy allows civil servants to work remotely, providing flexibility during potential disruptions.

In anticipation of a significant demonstration scheduled for Wednesday in Bandung, the provincial government of West Java has issued a directive for its civil servants (ASN) to adopt a work-from-anywhere (WFA) policy. This instruction applies to all civil servants after 12:00 PM Western Indonesian Time (WIB).

The WFA policy grants state employees the flexibility to work remotely, a measure intended to ensure continuity of government services while mitigating potential disruptions caused by the large-scale protest. This approach allows civil servants to perform their duties from various locations, rather than being required to be physically present at their offices.

The move reflects the provincial government's proactive stance in managing the potential impact of public gatherings on daily operations. By enabling remote work, the administration aims to maintain productivity and accessibility of public services amidst the planned demonstration in the provincial capital.
