New Performance Management Policy for Family Members
The Department of State’s Human Resources' Overseas Employment office recently announced the release of a new
performance management policy and revised the performance management forms for Eligible Family Members (EFM),
Members of Household (MOH), and Not Ordinarily Residents (NOR) working at posts overseas. The policy reinforces to
post management and supervisors the importance of performance management and provides a structured approach to
the supervision and performance of EFMs, MOHs, and NORs. If you have not seen cable 15 State 21856, please
request it from your CLO at post or email [email protected].
Some of the notable changes are as follows: a) The new annual evaluation performance rating cycle is now from March
15 through March 14; b) JF-57 EPR (Employee Performance Report) is the new rating form and can be found in e-forms;
c) Section III of the JF-57 EPR must be used to document the employee’s Work Requirement Statement (WRS) and they
are due 45 calendar days after the employee’s entry-on-duty; d) The overall ratings have been expanded to five levels:
Outstanding, Exceeds Expectations, Fully Successful, Needs Improvement and Not successful.
FLO Weekly is a compilation of news and information from the Family Liaison Office (FLO) of the Department of State for U.S.
government employees, their family members, and Members of Household (MOH) who are serving, have served, or will be serving at
U.S. missions overseas.

Community News Tim Oliver’s
Organic Waste Collection Pilot Program Did you know? Jakarta produces an average of 6,500 tons of solid waste a day. According to a recent UNESCO study, a majority of municipal solid waste in Jakarta is generated by households (52%) and 74% of that municipal solid waste is organic matter. By enrolling in the pilot program, you can help divert the majority of your trash from landfills and incinerators, provide income for local communities in Jakarta, and reduce the amount of methane (a potent greenhouse gas) generated by your waste.
The program costs $30 (approximately 390,000 IDR) which provides participants with a kitchen trash bin and a 5-gallon bucket for their food scraps and other compostable matter. Collect your organic waste in the bucket and Tim will pick it up and transport it to the Indonesia Solid Waste Association for organic waste composting for free during the duration of the pilot program. Sign up with Tim Oliver today.! Please contact him to join or ask questions at [email protected]. You can find more details about Tim’s efforts on Nusantara.

Fabulous Dog-Loving Housekeeper Available This Summer Ibu Tini has worked for us nearly three years, providing peace of mind and a very clean house. She knows the community well after working in U.S. Embassy houses for seven years and before that working at the American Club. Tini is a wonderful person all around and she is very happy to take care of our dog while she’s on duty and to dog sit when we’re away. I can’t emphasize enough how rare it is in Jakarta to find a person who not just will take care of dogs but actually enjoys it. Aside from this, she keeps our (large) house spic and span, does laundry, is great at managing representational dinners or receptions (even big ones), and is happy to do whatever shopping and cooking you want her to do. She speaks decent English. Let us know if you’re interested: [email protected]. (4/9) Green-Thumb Gardener Available This Summer It’s been so great to have Pak Sakino managing our yard and garden during our three years in Jakarta. If you have any kind of green space it will get out of control in no time (especially in the rainy season) and having a full or part-time gardener is not a luxury. Sakino has worked for us part-time and now full-time and is willing to go either way. His English is not great but he’s very eager to communicate to ensure he accomplishes what you need him to. Let us know if you’re interested: [email protected]. (4/9) Seeking Nanny to Start in July Our family of four seeks a responsible, experienced individual to take excellent care of our two lovable boys, ages 3 and 1. Basic English required to communicate with the children. Responsiblities include taking children to and from part-time daycare, preparing basic meals, and engaging in meaningful play and learning. We will be living in Menteng and would prefer a live-out nanny. Salary negotiable based on experience and recommendations. If you know someone who fits the bill please email [email protected] or What'sApp +1-703-310-8905 for additional information. (4/9) Heny (Eny) is a gem. She is honest, trustworthy and speaks good English! She can cook, clean, babysit, and iron. She is looking for a live-out position in South Jakarta. She worked with an American family for 4 years, and a Canadian family for 6 before then. Although we are not her former employer (which are good friends of ours), I can say that she is a catch. Please contact Eny 087881778179. I'm happy to chat as well and send her references ahead of time (Ashley 081310445957), [email protected] (4/2)
Classifieds Available 1 July (requests a 3 day break for Idul Fitri) or 1 August, excellent all-in-one pembantu,.Ibu Feby. She is a fabulous cook, absolultely trustworthy, does grocery shopping, great at laundry and speaks good English. She's worked for numerous embassy families and is a coveted pembantu. She's interested in moving to Surabaya and is seeking employment there, a big loss to the Jakarta embassy community. Please contact Ibu Feby directly at 6285692338887 if interested. (4/2) Ibu Rasti We are leaving Jakarta after 2.5 years, and are very sad to leave our nanny / pembantu Ibu Rasti behind. She was with us from the first month we arrived and we have found her to be very trust-worthy, reliable and diligent. Ibu Rasti is flexible and can do everything from cleaning and laundry to shopping and childcare. She cooks fantastic Indonesian and Korean food and is great with food prep. Her English is limited, but we didn't have any issues with communicating responsibilities and we have been working with her these past 2.5 years to improve her English. She is wonderful with children and is very creative with arts and crafts. Words cannot express how much Ibu Rasti means to our household. Our 4 children absolutely love her, especially our two youngest who are now 3 years old and 18 months old, and we are very thankful to have had her in our family.

FOR SALE Toyota Rush, 2007, silver, automatic transmission, ~67000 KM. This is the perfect car for maneuvering Jakarta traffic and taking longer trips around Java—smaller and more maneuverable than the Kijang, but with high enough clearance to handle even rough roads. Body and interior are in great condition. It has received regular maintenance over the last 4 years and has never broken down on us. The only significant repairs it has required are a total rebuild of the transmission (about 18 months ago) and replacement of the cooling fan. Available on or about June 21. $8,200.
