The data analysis technique uses path analysis by comparing the effects of direct and indirect effects to test the customer satisfaction variable. Linear regression analysis was used to obtain standardized path coefficients. This study found that additional employee income has a strong impact on improving employee performance.

Introduction This study aims to examine the role of job satisfaction of health workers related to the additional income they get and its impact on the performance of employees who serve in agencies that serve public health. As of May 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia is still ongoing. The COVID-19 pandemic event can reduce employee performance if there is no additional adequate income. Of course, job satisfaction is a determining factor to pay attention to, especially government organizations operating in the health care sector. This research was conducted because of curiosity about the condition of employee satisfaction and employee perceptions about the provision of additional income as well as employee perceptions about their performance achievements. Starting from the role of human resources as the key to the success of an organization, it has become a concern for both practitioners and academics. To achieve organizational success, of course, the welfare factor is a major concern. For employees to be prosperous, of course, organizations need to manage finances for their income. This study focuses more on providing additional income than the employee's fixed salary. Government policies regarding additional employee income are directed at employee performance, this has been tested by previous researchers such as Madjid (2016), Yalitoba (2019), and Lubis (2017) which prove there is a strong influence between additional employee income and employee performance. The additional income of employees in government organizations is not only for welfare but focuses on employee performance and Yalitoba's (2019) research has proven this connection. In practice, additional employee income is programmed monthly. Is it true that the additional employee income that is programmed monthly has an impact on employee performance in the COVID-19 era which has no end? Of course, this is an interesting study to be tested again. Given that health employees in this pandemic era have a high level of productivity, especially in terms of administrative services in the public health sector. Is it true that additional employment income must be able to satisfy employees? For this reason, it is necessary to examine the impact of additional employee income on employee job satisfaction. Riki's research results (2020) prove that there is an additional effect of employee income on employee job satisfaction. Similarly, previous researchers such as Irawan (2010), Damayanti et al (2018), and Kertiriasih et al (2018) have
