This summons is a follow-up to the examination of 95 companies in March 2025. From the results of the supervision, it was found that a number of violations such as not registering workers, reporting wages lower than the actual, to in arrears of fees.

The Ministry of Manpower supervisory team then asked for clarification from the 41 companies on August 25 to 29, 2025. Several companies summoned include PT TMI2, ET, IEAB, BCP, TJC, JYI (PWBD), SCW, YT, AYJ, NCO, PPA, MK, MRS, MMI, GPGM, KM, DRM, DRB, BI, HPI, MCI, SMS, RSS, CPS, MIR, PS, TMM, BMI, PT, KYI, MKG, SPB, ITKM, YDK, AMA, EPPI, NAH, FBI, JIT, TGS, KHI, and TCI.

The Director of the Manpower Norm Examination at the Ministry of Manpower, Rinaldi Umar, explained that previously these companies had been given a warning note. However, he continued, some of them still did not comply so they were called back for their commitments.

"Although there are several companies that have followed up on the warning note by paying arrears of Rp. 25 billion, that amount is still far from the obligations that should have been fulfilled. Therefore, we encourage companies to seriously carry out their obligations according to the provisions," said Rinaldi in an official statement, Sunday, September 14.

Rinaldi said the Ministry of Manpower will continue to intensify supervision in the regions. He said this step was not only to take action, but also to increase the company's awareness that compliance with social security is a form of responsibility to workers.

Meanwhile, the President Director of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, Pramudya Iriawan Buntoro, appreciated the Ministry of Manpower's steps. According to him, BPJS itself cannot enforce compliance, but must collaborate, one of which is through Integrated Supervision (Waspadu).

As of August 2025, the Waspadu program has been carried out with the Ministry of Manpower for 166 companies in eight provinces, including West Java.

"The goal is simple, namely to ensure workers' rights are truly protected," he said.

Furthermore, Pramudya emphasized that supervision does not only apply to local workers, but also Foreign Workers (TKA).

"Every worker has the right to social protection, without exception," he concluded.
