"That is not true. I am Solihin speaking as Alfamart's Corporate Affairs Director to clarify that the news is completely wrong," he told VOI, Thursday, September 23.
However, unfortunately, when asked about the average salary for cashier-level employees, Solihin did not explain the exact amount. He emphasized that there are no employees whose salaries are below the district/city minimum wage (UMK) and provincial minimum wage (UMP).
"I make sure that none of Alfamart's employees receive salaries below the UMK in their respective regions," he said.

"For example, a new employee enters, he does not have any experience, his salary is paid according to the UMP or UMK. We follow the rules set by the government," he explained.
