UNESA guarantees equivalent rights for its non-permanent workers

Universitas Negeri Surabaya (UNESA) engages its non-permanent education staff (Tenaga Kependidikan Tidak Tetap, TKTT) directly, and its staff regulation, in force since 1 January 2025, sets non-discrimination, justice and equality as the principles of staff policy and gives fixed-term employees the right to salary, allowances and leave (Universitas Negeri Surabaya, 2024b). In August 2025 UNESA called for 40 TKTT positions through its own recruitment process (Universitas Negeri Surabaya, 2025). UNESA's anti-violence regulation protects every person who works on campus, including staff of service providers (Universitas Negeri Surabaya, 2024a); in February 2026 its staff forum reached cleaning and security staff (KeceMedia UNESA, 2026), and in July 2026 UNESA began exploring social security cover with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan that would include campus vendors (Universitas Negeri Surabaya, 2026a).

Policy basis

Pasal 16

Policy guarantees equivalent rights for outsourced workers

Universitas Negeri Surabaya (UNESA) gives the workers it engages the rights set in its staff regulation. Peraturan Rektor 37/2024, in force since 1 January 2025, applies to UNESA's own employees: it states the principles of non-discrimination, justice and equality (Pasal 2) and lists the rights of fixed-term staff to salary and allowances and to leave (Pasal 16) (Universitas Negeri Surabaya, 2024b). UNESA's TKTT are engaged directly by UNESA. A UNESA news item reports that 336 TKTT signed their 2024 work agreements on 2 January 2024, and quotes UNESA's human resources sub-directorate head saying that all TKTT are enrolled in BPJS Kesehatan class 1 and are covered by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan (Humas UNESA, 2024). The August 2025 call for 40 TKTT shows UNESA continuing to recruit this staff category directly (Universitas Negeri Surabaya, 2025).

Names which outsourced activities or roles are covered

UNESA fills many support roles with staff it engages directly. The August 2025 TKTT announcement lists 40 positions placed in laboratories, directorates and faculties, with job titles such as laboratory operator, data and information processor and information systems and technology administrator (Universitas Negeri Surabaya, 2025). The January 2024 news item reports that 336 TKTT worked across UNESA and that, according to the human resources sub-directorate head, they made up about 60 percent of UNESA's employees (Humas UNESA, 2024).

UNESA's protections against violence cover every person who works on campus, including staff of service providers. Rector's Regulation Number 11 of 2024 applies to the UNESA community, defined as the academic community, education staff and every person who works on campus (Article 1(10)) (Universitas Negeri Surabaya, 2024a). On 12 and 13 February 2026 the Directorate for the Prevention and Handling of Strategic Issues held SAMBAT, a dialogue forum for education staff that the directorate described as reaching cleaning and security staff as well, where staff raised disproportionate workloads and the directorate offered to carry their concerns to policy makers (KeceMedia UNESA, 2026). On 29 July 2026 UNESA met BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, the national workers' social security agency, to explore cover for employees, Lab School teachers, business units and vendors on campus construction projects, including work-accident, death, old-age, pension and job-loss protection (Universitas Negeri Surabaya, 2026a).

UNESA names the outsourced services it buys in its procurement regulation. Rector's Regulation Number 9 of 2026 on the Procurement of Goods and Services, set on 2 February 2026, lists the services UNESA contracts every year: catering, almamater jackets and other garment work, cleaning, security, travel, and the supply of outsourced staff (tenaga alih daya). UNESA contracts these from its own company, BUM UNESA, or its subsidiaries and affiliates, by special appointment of providers that have passed a qualification check, and it holds every party in a purchase to the regulation's principles of fairness, transparency and accountability (Article 4) and to its procurement ethics code (Article 5) (Universitas Negeri Surabaya, 2026b).
