"Maybe a quick reading of Article 10, we all will mean that, if an employee did not come to work without explanation for 46 days in a row, then he would be sanctioned to the dismissal as civil servant," said Supardjiyanto.

"Not only that, the delays into work and / or early leaving are also calculated cumulatively and converted to 7 ½ (seven and a half) hours equal to 1 (one) day of absenteeism," he added.

"Civil servants, in this rule, at the level of staff as well as of officials of Echelon II and III are subject to a number of sanctions if found in violation, ranging from verbal reprimand, written one, delays of the periodic salary increases, delays in promotions. Unmitigated, severe punishment of demotion to dismissal without honor is going to be issued.

That should not be is to wear service attributes, furthermore to use state facilities, "Supardjiyanto added.

Supardjiyanto hoped, all civil servants within the High Religious Court of Yogyakarta can understand PP 53 which has been officially enacted in November. According Supardjiyanto, the implementation of PP 53 will support the reform of the bureaucracy, capacity building of human resources and performance improvement, "the Supreme Court through the Board of Supervisor does not now play in providing a disciplinary sanction for their employees. All are intended to achieve reform of the bureaucracy of the Supreme Court in reaching an overall excellent service to the public. This is already a commitment in its vision of the Supreme Court to realize great judiciary, "he added.
