BKKBN and BSN Employee Allowances Increased, Highest Reaches Rp33.24 Million

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has increased performance allowances (tukin) for employees of the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) and the National Standardization Agency (BSN).

This tukin increase is based on Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 4 of 2024 concerning Performance Allowances for Employees within BKKBN and Perpres Number 5 of 2024 concerning Performance Allowances for Employees within BSN. These regulations came into effect on January 23, 2024.

The tukin is differentiated based on job class. There are at least 17 job classes within BKKBN and BSN.

The lowest tukin amount is for job class 1, at Rp2.53 million per month, up from the previous Rp1.98 million.

The highest is for job class 17, at Rp33.24 million per month, up from the previous Rp26.32 million per month.

This tukin is not given to BKKBN and BSN employees who do not hold a specific position, are temporarily dismissed, or have been dismissed from their organic position.

Furthermore, the tukin is also not given to employees on leave without government support or on leave without assignment in preparation for retirement.
