performance allowances. The payment of salaries and performance allowances (tukin) for
civil servants is carried out every month (Ngindana & Hermawan, 2019). Salaries and
Performance Allowances are included in the category of employee spending (Setiawan &
Muslim, 2021).
Employee expenditure ranks third largest after capital expenditure and goods
expenditure in the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN). The Audited Central
Government Financial Statements (LKPP) in 2022 show an increase in the realization of
employee spending, which in 2021 amounted to 387,752 billion rupiahs (92%), then in
2022 it was 402,441 billion rupiahs (94%), then in 2023 it was 411,376 billion rupiahs
(98%) (Tumanggor & Wibowo, 2021).
The payment of all state budget expenditures is carried out by the State Treasury
Service Office (KPPN), which is a vertical unit of the Directorate General of Treasury of
the Ministry of Finance. All work units (sicker) of state ministries/institutions submit bills
to KPPN, then KPPN verifies bills and disburses funds to the satker account or
employees. (Nina et al., 2023).
The payment of performance allowances is quite complicated, in terms of the
number, of state ministries or institutions (K/L), there are 85 K/L with a Work Unit
(sicker), as many as 9,104 stakes, and 31,230 sicker children, while the total employees
are 967,724 central civil servants. Then in terms of type, there are master's jobs, follow-
up, shortcomings, 13th month, and THR with different calculation formulas for each class
of position (grading). Therefore, to overcome this complexity, the use of information
technology is very necessary. According to Meier (2014), the application of information
technology can overcome manual, time-consuming, and repetitive processes in various
fields of work. Surveys have shown that the results of manual processes can be reduced
by as much as fifty percent with electronic processing.
In the salary payment process, sicker and KPPN have used the full system, namely
the Web-Based Salary Application, while the payment of performance allowances is still
semi-manual where the sicker still makes a nominative list (calculation list) of
performance allowances outside the system (Ms. Excel) then uploads it in the form of a
CSV/txt extension file to the Web-Based Salary Application for validation. In addition,
there has been no systematic calculation testing at the task force level by the Commitment
Making Officer (PPK) and the KPPN level to strengthen security. So it can be said that
the existing performance allowance module has not been fully integrated because there is
still a calculation process outside the system. According to (Chowdhury & Salahuddin,
2017), functional systems that operate independently (silos) are obsolete because they
cannot share data and support each other's functions between units as a whole, at present
they have been replaced through systems between units on a large scale by integrating all
processes in the organization.
Therefore, the researcher proposes to redesign the existing performance allowance
module with full use of the system as well as salary payments. The methods used are (1)
Segregation of Duties to map the separation of functions in terms of making and testing
performance allowances, (2) Framework for The Application of System Thinking (FAST)
