Late Paying Freelancer, Basuki to Revoke Official's Allowance

Jakarta Governor, Basuki T. Purnama, asserted the freelancer and PPSU's salary to be paid immediately. He threatened to revoke regional working unit (SKPD)'s Regional Performance Allowance (TKD) if the same case happens next month.

 I have made the new rule, if the payment is late, we will revoke official's allowance

"I don't want to hear the case of delays in salary for freelancer and PPSU anymore. I have made the new rule, if the payment is late, we will revoke official's allowance," he expressed, at City Hall, Monday (2/22).

Officials that in question are deputy, assistant, dept head, until echelon-III and -IV. He added, salary payment should not be delayed because it is the employee right.

Pay Freelancer’s Salary As Soon As Possible, Basuki Says

"God's revelation is not holding one's salary," he asserted.

He furthered that it has happened three consecutive years. Considering, freelancer and PPSU depend on the salary given every month.

"Rp 3 million per month was not enough for them. Why you do not have a conscience. If you do the same mistake next month, no allowance," he closed.
