Justice-Based Enhancements to the Civil Servant Rumenaration System in the Ministry of Religious Affairs

Abstract

The Ministry of Religion is currently undertaking a bureaucratic reform program aimed at enhancing organizational structure, management systems, human resources, and salary or remuneration frameworks. The 2008 Ministry of Finance Work Plan profile outlines a Bureaucratic Reform program, which includes the enhancement of the remuneration system. This study seeks to evaluate and analyze the implementation of remuneration improvement policies at the Ministry of Religion, grounded in juridical aspects and principles of justice. The research adopts a normative legal approach, utilizing legislative, conceptual, and case study methodologies. Legal materials are sourced from primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. Data collection is conducted through a comprehensive literature review and analyzed qualitatively. Findings reveal that remuneration is a fundamental aspect of human resource management, concerning the financial compensation employees receive for their organizational duties. To meet the diverse expectations and needs of stakeholders, the remuneration system must uphold the principles of justice. Fairness in the remuneration system within government agencies is mandated by Law Number 43 of 1999. By incorporating performance allowances into the remuneration structure, the system is expected to be more equitable, thereby mitigating welfare disparities both among civil servants and between civil servants and private sector employees.
