Head of the Manpower, Transmigration and Energy Agency (Disnakertransgi) Hari Nugroho said that his party was still investigating 63 companies that had not or did not pay holiday allowances (THR). Hari explained the obstacles encountered by his team in processing late THR payment complaints to companies in the capital city. Apart from the limited number of personnel, a number of reporters did not include the full address of the company in question. "The obstacle faced during the examination was that the address of the reported company was incomplete, making it difficult for officers to find the location of the company. Then there were several reporters who were contacted who were not active," Hari told reporters, Tuesday, June 13. It doesn't stop there. Another stage that also encountered problems was when the Manpower Office had arrived but had not been able to get valid and complete documents to be examined. Meanwhile, completeness of the document is needed to carry out an examination until the completion of the case of late THR payments that are reported by employees immediately. "If at the time of the first examination the documents are complete, the results of the complaint can be obtained whether they have been paid or not," said Hari. "The problem is that if at the time of the first examination, PIC from the company cannot be found because it is on duty outside or on leave, so the examination must be rescheduled in order to obtain valid documents," he added. In total, the Manpower and Transmigration Office received 340 late complaints or inappropriate THR payments this year. In taking action against THR complaints, the Manpower Office came to the company and asked for an analization of the cause of late payments or THR payments that did not comply with the provisions. "On average they say that the problem is that they have been affected by COVID (affected by the pandemic). Their business has not started to run smoothly. Then secondly, because they are no longer in production," said Hari. From there, the Disnakertansgi mediator team will mediate with employers and employees to find a solution to this problem. If an agreement appears, the DKI Provincial Government will give the company a deadline of several months to follow up. "After mediation, we give 4 to 5 months to pay. If we mediate, we can't immediately send it to our supervisors. This time's supervision, if he can't, then we will give sanctions," said Hari.

Then, if the stipulated deadline ends but the company has not been able to pay off employee THR, the DKI Provincial Government will impose administrative sanctions. "There are various sanctions. You can revoke the company's identification number, you can postpone the permit," he added.
