Industrial Area Still in Red Zone, Luhut Suggests 15 Days Work in Factory

Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan revealed that several industrial areas still showed red zones for the spread of Covid-19. He also asked the workers' working hours to be rearranged.

“There are still things that need attention, one of which is the workers, where this industry is still a lot of red. If possible, I suggest that their work schedule be tightened," said Luhut. Luhut asked the Minister of Manpower Ida Fauziyah to implement a mechanism that regulates the working hours of workers. If workers usually work in offices or factories 30 days a month, half the time (15 days) can be done from home or work from home (WFH). However, Luhut appealed to companies not to interpret the WFH policy without providing wages to workers. Luhut reminded the Minister of Manpower to make clear regulations. "WFH and being dismissed, please make it clear so that later it can be translated through ministerial regulations or circular instructions from the Minister of Home Affairs. So there are no different interpretations," he said. In principle, said Luhut, the government anticipates a multiplier effect on workers so they are not laid off.
