Bengkalis Workers 2026: 6610 Jobs Expected to Continue

Bengkalis Regency Secures Employment for Over 6,600 Non-Database Workers Through 2026

Despite not being included in the Part-time PPPK scheme, over 6,600 non-database workers in Bengkalis regency will retain their positions through 2026, offering a measure of stability to a significant portion of the local workforce.

Bengkalis Regent Kasmarni, through Regional Secretary Ersan Saputra TH, affirmed this commitment during a discussion meeting focused on addressing the status of these personnel. The meeting, held on December 12, 2025, at the Hang Tuah Meeting Room, underscored the administration’s dedication to finding solutions for workers not formally recognized within the national database.

Addressing the Scale of Non-Database Employment

The number of non-database workers in Bengkalis Regency currently stands at 6,610 individuals. A detailed breakdown reveals the breadth of roles impacted: 382 are teachers, 283 work in healthcare, 1,534 are in administrative roles, 263 are technical staff, 1,307 provide security services, 2,569 are responsible for cleaning, and 272 serve as drivers.

“In the near future, we will promptly carry out mapping in each OPD [Regional Apparatus Association] according to the tasks carried out by honorary staff in their OPD and don’t let any honorary staff be left behind during the mapping,” a senior official stated, emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive assessment of current roles and responsibilities. This mapping process is crucial to ensure a smooth transition and continued employment for all affected workers.

Did you know? – Indonesia’s “non-database” workers frequently enough lack formal employment contracts and benefits, creating job insecurity. This initiative aims to address that.

Funding Strategies and Regulatory Compliance

The Bengkalis Regency government is implementing a tiered funding approach to sustain these positions. Health workers will be supported through BLUD (Regional Public Service Agency) funding, while teachers and education staff will receive funding from BOS (School Operational Assistance) funds. Security, cleaning, drivers, and administrative staff will be transitioned through an outsourcing system in accordance with national government regulations.

Furthermore, the administration is prioritizing regulatory compliance. “In the future, honorary staff will be required to have a NPWP (taxpayer identification number) and create an NIB (business registration number) because the requirement to have an NIB is to have a NPWP,” the official explained. This move aims to formalize the employment status of these workers and ensure adherence to national financial regulations.

Pro tip: – Outsourcing, while providing continued employment, may affect worker benefits. Understanding contract terms is vital.

Streamlining Registration and Support

To facilitate the transition, a circular outlining the requirements and procedures for registration will be issued by BPJ (likely referring to a local administrative body) to all opds throughout Bengkalis Regency.This will ensure a standardized and transparent process for all non-database personnel.

The December 12th meeting was attended by key regional figures, including the regent’s Expert Staff for Community Affairs and Human Resources, People’s welfare, Johansyah Syafri; the Head of the Personnel, Education and Training Agency of Bengkalis Regency, Djamaludin; and all Heads of the Bengkalis Regency OPD and sub-district heads. This broad depiction underscores the collaborative effort to address this critical workforce issue.
