YOGYAKARTA - Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Ida Fauziyah said there would be special sanctions for companies that do not pay holiday allowances (THR) for their workers. The imposition of THR non-payment company sanctions is regulated in Government Regulation (PP) Number 36 of 2021 concerning Wages.

Ida emphasized that the 2023 THR payment must be paid in full. This means that entrepreneurs cannot pay in installments.

"This Religious THR must be paid in full, not in installments. I ask the company to obey this regulation," Ida said in a virtual press conference, Tuesday, March 28, quoted by VOI.

In addition, companies are also required to pay a maximum THR of D-7 Lebaran or April 15 (assuming 1 Syawal 1444 H to fall on April 22, 2023). This is in accordance with Circular Letter (SE) Number M / 2 / HK.0400 / / III / 2023 concerning the Implementation of Religious THR Giving in 2023 for Workers / Laborers in Companies

If there are companies that violate these rules, there will be sanctions waiting. So, what sanctions will the company get if it is late or does not even pay THR to workers/workers?

According to Government Regulation Number 36 of 2021 concerning Wages, the imposition of sanctions for companies that do not pay THR for their workers will be given in stages, starting from:

"We all hope that this imposition of sanctions will not happen. We ask the company to comply with existing regulations," said Ida.

The Minister of Manpower said that currently there is no longer any reason for companies not to pay or pay THR installments. According to him, the Indonesian economic condition has improved after the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Indonesia's current economic condition has improved again, of course there is no longer a story that the company does not pay THR," said Ida Fauziyah.

Berikutya, Ida menjelaskan kelompok pekerja yang berhak menerima THR 2023. Mereka yakni pekerja/laboruh yang memiliki hubungan kerja dengan pengusaha berdasarkan perjanjian kerja waktu tidak tertentu atau perjanjian kerja waktu tertentu (kontrak).

"Those who are entitled to religious THR include workers who have a continuous work period of 1 month or more, whether they have a work relationship based on an indefinite work agreement or PKWTT, or a certain time work agreement or PKWT, including workers or casual daily laborers who meet the requirements according to the laws and regulations," explained Ida.

For the amount, workers/laborers who have a continuous work period of 12 months or more will be given THR of one month's wages.

Meanwhile, workers/laborers whose work period is not even one year, THR is given proportionally, according to their working period, with a formula (work period x 1 month wage : 12).

For workers/laborers who have a freelance daily work agreement, the amount of THR can be calculated based on the average wage received during the last 12 months before religious holidays. The same applies to workers whose wages are determined based on the unit of results.

If the daily work period is not even one year or less than 12 months, then the salary of one month is calculated based on the average wage received every month during the working period.
