Job Positions and Position Classes at the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries: PERMENKKP 3/2026

Peraturan Menteri Nomor 3 Tahun 2026 tentang Jabatan dan Kelas Jabatan Pegawai di Lingkungan Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan (English: Ministerial Regulation Number 3 of 2026 concerning Positions and Position Classes of Employees within the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries), cited here as PERMENKKP 3/2026.

The regulation establishes the official framework for job positions and their corresponding position classes for all employees working within the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan, or KKP). It defines the categories of positions, assigns a position class to each role, and links those classes to the payment of performance allowances.

What the Regulation Covers

PERMENKKP 3/2026 applies to all employees — referred to as "Pegawai" — within the Ministry. Under Pasal 1, the term "Pegawai" encompasses both Pegawai Aparatur Sipil Negara (state civil apparatus employees, comprising civil servants and government employees with work agreements) and Pegawai Lainnya (other employees appointed to positions approved by the minister responsible for state apparatus affairs). The regulation covers every employee who, by decision of an authorised official, is appointed to a position and works full-time within a unit of the ministry's organisational structure.

Key Definitions

Pasal 1 provides the foundational definitions. A "Jabatan" (position) is defined as a role that reflects the functions, duties, responsibilities, authority, and rights of an employee within an organisational unit. "Kelas Jabatan" (position class) is defined as a designation indicating an employee's level within the government institutional hierarchy; positions in the same class are considered equivalent in terms of difficulty, responsibility, and qualification requirements, even if they differ in the type of work performed. Position class serves as the basis for determining salary and related compensation. The regulation also defines "Tunjangan Kinerja" (performance allowance) as an allowance paid to employees based on their performance achievements, work behaviour, and position class.

Managerial and Non-Managerial Positions

The regulation divides positions into two broad categories. Pasal 1 defines "Jabatan Manajerial" (managerial positions) as a group of positions that carry the function of leading an organisational unit and having employees directly subordinate to them, for the purpose of achieving the organisation's objectives.

"Jabatan Nonmanajerial" (non-managerial positions), by contrast, are defined as a group of positions that prioritise technical competencies in their respective fields and do not carry direct responsibility for managing or supervising the performance of other employees. Pasal 4 further breaks down non-managerial positions into two sub-categories: "Jabatan fungsional" (functional positions), whose holders provide services and carry out work in accordance with specific expertise or skills, and "Jabatan pelaksana" (implementing positions), whose holders provide services and carry out work that is routine and simple in nature.

Position Classes and the Appendix

Under Pasal 5, every position within the ministry is assigned a position class. The complete list of positions and their corresponding classes is set out in an appendix (Lampiran) that forms an integral and inseparable part of the regulation. The appendix provides a detailed table of managerial positions across the ministry's organisational units — including the Sekretariat Jenderal (Secretariat General), the Direktorat Jenderal Penataan Ruang Laut (Directorate General of Marine Spatial Planning), and several other directorates general listed in the extraction — specifying the names of roles and their assigned class numbers. The highest class recorded in the extracted portion is 17, assigned to the Sekretaris Jenderal and the Direktur Jenderal Penataan Ruang Laut. Staff expert roles (Staf Ahli) are assigned class 16, while bureau heads (Kepala Biro) and directors are assigned class 15. Heads of administrative sub-units (Kepala Subbagian Tata Usaha) are assigned class 10.

Performance Allowances

Pasal 6 states that the amount of performance allowance for each position class is provided in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations. Pasal 7 sets out the timing rules for payment. For holders of managerial positions and functional positions, performance allowances are paid according to the position class from the date the employee is formally inaugurated (dilantik) into the position. For holders of implementing positions, performance allowances are paid according to the position class based on the official appointment decision (keputusan pengangkatan) for that implementing position.

When It Takes Effect

Under Pasal 10, the regulation takes effect on the date of its promulgation (tanggal diundangkan). The regulation was enacted in Jakarta on 27 January 2026 by the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, and is to be published in the State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia (Berita Negara Republik Indonesia).
