Please Be Patient! Minister Of Manpower Yassierli Affirms The Determination Of The 2025 UMP Not Announced Today

JAKARTA - Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Yassierli reiterated that the determination of the 2025 Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) was not announced today.

"No, no, no (announced today)," said the Minister of Manpower when met at the Office of the Ministry of Manpower, Jakarta, Antara, Thursday, November 21.

As for now, his party is still discussing the formulation of workers' wages with a number of relevant stakeholders, and he admits that it is still in progress.

"If the UMP seems like I have said it, we are still in the process," he said again.

He also targets that by the end of this month the 2025 UMP formulation will be completed, which will then be submitted to President Prabowo Subianto.

"We will go before President Prabowo Subianto to get directions from him," he also said.

Previously, the Minister of Manpower Yassierli gave a signal and a breath of fresh air for workers regarding the UMP in 2025, which of course will increase.

According to him, it is impossible for the UMP to be lowered because the government is focused on helping workers who have low income get a decent wage.

"Yes, let's go (up), don't go up," said Yassierli, Wednesday (6/11).

In general, he did not want to reveal how much the minimum wage increase would be, but he ensured that all parties involved related to labor wages had been invited to discuss and collaborate to find the right formulation.
