The Riau Islands Manpower Office (Disnaker Kepri) appealed to workers/laborers who do not receive Christmas 2022 holiday allowances (THR) even though they are entitled to receive them to immediately report to the THR Post of the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker).Head of the Riau Islands Mangara Simarmata Manpower Office said the THR Post was indeed formed to serve and consult reports of workers who had THR 2022 problems with their companies."In this THR Post, the Ministry of Manpower lists the number recorded and can be directly available on WhatsApp through number 0811 9521 150 or 0811 9521 151. In addition, workers can also directly access the online posthr.kemnaker.go.id," said Mangara in Tanjungpinang, quoted from Antara, Thursday, December 22.According to him, if there are reports that workers do not receive THR from the Riau Islands, the Ministry of Manpower will forward the report to his party (Kepri Manpower Office) for further handling.He claims that so far the Riau Islands Manpower Office has not received reports that workers have not received THR for Christmas 2022 in the local area."We hope that the THR of the workers can be fulfilled by employers/companies in accordance with applicable regulations," said Mangara.He explained that the Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Ida Fauziyah had issued Circular (SE) Number M/1/HK.04/IV/2022 concerning the Implementation of the 2022 Religious Holiday Allowance for Workers/Labourers in Companies addressed to governors throughout IndonesiaIn the SE, he said, giving religious THR to workers/laborers is an effort to meet the needs of workers/laborers and their families in celebrating religious holidays.This is based on Government Regulation Number 36 of 2021 concerning Wages Juncto Regulation of the Minister of Manpower Number 6 of 2016 concerning Religious THR for Workers/Labourers in companies. Providing religious THR is an obligation that must be carried out by employers to workers/laborers.Mangara continued, the religious THR is given to workers/laborers who have a continuous work period of one month or more.Then, workers/laborers who have a working relationship with employers based on an indefinite time work agreement or a certain time work agreement.The amount of religious THR is given to workers/laborers who have worked twelve months continuously or more, given one month's wages."Meanwhile, workers/laborers who have a continuous work period of one month but less than twelve months are given proportionally according to the calculation of the working period divided by 12 times one month of wages," he said.Furthermore, for workers/laborers who work based on a casual daily work agreement, the wages of one month are calculated as follows, namely workers/laborers who have a working period of 12 months or more. The one-month wage is calculated based on the average wage received in the last twelve months before religious holidays.Workers/laborers who have a working period of less than twelve months, one month's wages are calculated based on the average wage received every month during their tenure."For workers/laborers whose wages are determined based on the units of results, the wages of one month are calculated based on the average wages of the last 12 months before religious holidays," he explained.As for companies that determine the amount of the value of religious THR in work agreements, company regulations, collective work agreements, or habits that have been carried out greater than the value of Religious THR, THR is paid to workers/laborers in accordance with work agreements, company regulations, collective work agreements, or habits that have been carried out."Religious THR must be paid no later than seven days before religious holidays," he asserted.
