Previously, the Government through the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) reminded that companies that are late or do not pay holiday allowances (THR) to their workers will be subject to sanctions.

Meanwhile, the imposition of sanctions is regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower (Permenaker) Number 6 of 2016 concerning Holiday Allowances for Workers/Labourers in Companies.

In a video upload on the Instagram account @Kemnaker, it is explained that companies that are late in paying THR are required to pay a fine of 5 percent of the amount of THR that should be paid.

"Article 10 of the Minister of Manpower Number 6 of 2016, companies that are late in paying THR are required to pay a fine of 5 percent of the total THR itself," said the video quoted on Sunday, March 16.

After paying the fine, the company is required to pay THR in full to its workers.

"The fine is not a THR replacement, but an additional penalty for the company for being late in paying the THR, and the company is obliged to pay full THR to workers," said the video upload.

Meanwhile, companies that do not pay THR to their workers will be subject to administrative sanctions, which include written warnings to freezing business activities.

"(The company does not pay the THR) will definitely be subject to administrative sanctions, such as a written warning; restrictions on business activities; temporary suspension, part or all production equipment; and freezing of business activities," he explained.
