This BIMTEK is a follow-up to the socialization carried out in November 2022 regarding the implementing regulations of PP No. 94 of 2021 and Per-BKN No. 6 of 2022.

In his remarks, Muhammad Arifin Nasution, S.Sos., M.SP, as Vice Rector II for Human Resources and Finance, said that this BIMTEK was carried out to organize the management of Human Resources (HR) at USU. Therefore, he appealed to all participants to follow the activities until the end.

In her interview, Dra. Syafnita Hanura Silalahi, MSP as Head of the USU HR Bureau conveyed what was behind the holding of this BIMTEK.

“Because of the many cases that occur in the faculty or SATKER (work unit), it concludes that must be handled by their direct superiors, because if it is not handled by their direct superiors, it will result in superiors above them. So it must be handled and given what sanctions in accordance with the applicable provisions, what the law is, in accordance with PP (No) 94 regulations that apply in the current law, “said the Head of the HR Bureau.

He also said that this BIMTEK was attended by 51 work units consisting of 16 Faculties Agencies and Directorates.

“BIMTEK participants are all faculties. BIMTEK participants are 51 work units consisting of 16 faculties agencies and directorates. There are also bureaus. The bureau that organizes the HR Bureau is followed by the Finance Bureau, the Cooperation Bureau, the Asset Bureau, the Sirenbang Bureau (Information, Planning, and Development), and the P2KM Bureau (Research, Community Service and Cooperation), “said the Head of the HR Bureau.

The Head of the Personnel Section of the USU HR Bureau, Eliza Ambarwenny Rahayu, ST., M.Si, expressed her hope after this BIMTEK was carried out.

“Of course, we can realize the vision of the university leadership, yes, that the leaders of work units within USU have strong competence in terms of discipline enforcement, so they understand and understand exactly how disciplinary regulations are applied and also understand that employee development is the responsibility of direct superiors, not all disciplinary problems are then submitted at the university level but can be handled immediately in their respective work units. So all university leaders have strong competence in terms of discipline enforcement,” said Mrs. Eliza.

This BIMTEK was carried out by the USU HR Bureau by bringing in five resource persons from the Regional Office VI of the Civil Service Agency (BKN) Medan, namely Dr. Janry Simanungkalit, S. Si, M. Si. as Head of Regional Office VI BKN Medan, Maslen Sinaga, S.Sos., MSI and Hotlan Sitorus, SE from the Junior Personnel Auditor, Pretty Biana Sinambela from the Performance Analyst, and Enrich C. Simanungkalit from the Middle Personnel Analyst.

Dr. Janry said that BKN's role in BIMTEK this time was to appreciate the things initiated by the USU HR Bureau, namely conducting coaching activities for civil servants and employees, especially related to employee discipline. He also said that this BIMTEK was said to be successful not only in terms of understanding the participants but also in terms of discipline-related problems that had received solutions to the follow-up of this activity.

“So with the completion of this activity, all employee discipline problems have received steps on what solutions will be taken, that's it, so it's not just understanding. In fact, this approach has been carried out by dividing groups to discuss disciplinary problems faced by each existing unit,” said Dr. Janry.

Maslen Sinaga, S.Sos., M.Si as a speaker in this BIMTEK explained the basis for enforcing the discipline of a civil servant, namely knowing his obligations and prohibitions. There are 17 obligations of a civil servant and 14 prohibitions. This is also the basis for determining the type of disciplinary penalty for each civil servant.

“Now at USU, we are very, very grateful because we really want and have a high determination to uphold civil servant discipline. We want civil servants in USU to become civil servants with dignity, performance, and innovation. Now, to be able to serve it all, of course, it must be supported by civil servant discipline. That's the material we peeled off until he was mild, moderate, and severe, “said Mr. Maslen.

This BIMTEK activity was closed directly by the Vice Rector II for Human Resources and Finance, Muhammad Arifin Nasution, S.Sos., M.SP.
