Minister Of Manpower Ida To Entrepreneurs: THR Lebaran 2024 Must Be Paid In Full, Cannot Be Installed!

JAKARTA - The Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Ida Fauziyah warned companies to pay Eid al-Fitr (THR) or Eid Al-Fitr in full or not in installments.

"This religious THR must be paid in full, not in installments, once again I reiterate that THR must be paid in full and cannot be paid in installments," said Ida at the THR Press Conference, at the Ministry of Manpower Office, Jakarta, March 18.

Ida emphasized that entrepreneurs must comply with this regulation. This rule has also been contained in a circular that has been distributed to entrepreneurs and local government officials.

"I ask the company, once again I ask the company to pay attention and I hope the company obeys this provision," he said.

Ida also said that the THR for workers must be paid on time. Where the deadline for paying the THR is D-7 before Eid al-Fitr 1445 H or Eid Al-Fitr 2024.

If you calculate the Eid al-Fitr time which is estimated to fall on April 10, 2024, then the deadline for paying THR from employers to workers is April 3, 2024.

Furthermore, Ida said, the holiday allowance or THR itself is an obligation that must be fulfilled by the company to its workers.

"This religious THR must be paid no later than 7 days before religious holidays," he said.
