Dream - Minister of National Development Planning/Head of Bappenas, Suharso Monoarfa, explained that the salary received by civil servants (PNS) in 2024 will be based on a new salary system. PNS will receive a single salary and will no longer receive separate allowance payments.

As for the inherent allowances that civil servants have been receiving, they include general allowance, position allowance, meal allowance, child allowance, and spouse allowance.

With that, there is a possibility that civil servants who have the same position can receive different salaries depending on the assessment of job value seen from the workload, responsibilities, and job risks.

"Previously, in the 2024 State Budget (RAPBN), the salaries of central and regional civil servants/Armed Forces/Police increased by 8 percent, while the pensions increased by 12 percent. This was revealed by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) during his speech on the Draft State Budget for Fiscal Year 2024 and Financial Note at the Plenary Session of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly (MPR)/People's Representative Council (DPR) on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, in Jakarta."

Jokowi said that the implementation of the transformation should run effectively so that bureaucratic reform must be continuously strengthened. Through bureaucratic reform, it is expected to realize a central and regional bureaucracy that is efficient, competent, professional, and has integrity.
