Heru Urges ASNs to Delay Leave During Rainy Season

Jakarta Acting Governor, Heru Budi Hartono appealed to state civil servants (ASNs ) involved in the task of handling disaster risks to postpone the implementation of annual leave during the rainy season.

This is specifically those that are in direct touch with public services

According to him, the impact that would arise during the rainy season requires an integrated effort to anticipate and handle it, especially in public services.

"This is specifically those that are in direct touch with public services related to unfriendly natural conditions or situations," he stated after he led the ceremony of the 94th Youth Pledge Day at Plaza Selatan, Monas, Central Jakarta, Friday (10/28).

He was optimistic that ASN can conduct this appeal that is called for as their duties and functions.

“Surely, they have also done well. He certainly didn't ask him to do his job as well as possible," he stated.

As for the information, the Jakarta Regional Personnel Agency (BKD) issued Circular Letter number e-0025/SE/2022 regarding the postponement of annual leave during the rainy season.

The letter, which was signed on October 20, 2022, is a follow-up to the directives of the Acting Governor and takes into account the Jakarta BPBD Letter number 2291/-1,781 regarding the Appeal for Preparedness for the Rainy Season.

In the circular letter, the heads of regional apparatus/bureaus of the Jakarta Regional Secretariat who handle disaster risk during the rainy season should postpone the implementation of annual leave.

The next point instructs mayors, deputy mayors, regents, deputy regents, city/district secretaries, sub-districts and urban village heads, and regional working unit (UKPD) heads involved in disaster risk management to postpone the implementation of annual leave during the rainy season.

The postponement of annual leave is implemented until February 2022. Aside that, the postponement of annual leave during the rainy season did not remove the entitlement to annual leave and could be used the following year by the provisions of the legislation regarding ASN leave.
