JAKARTA - President Director of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, Anggoro Eko Cahyo, said that his party is targeting the disbursement of Job Loss Guarantee (JKP) for PT Sritex workers who will be laid off to completion on March 18, 2025.

This was said by Anggoro in a meeting with Commission IX of the DPR at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, March 11.

The amount of JKP to be issued is IDR 11.3 billion, while the disbursement of Old Age Security (JHT) is IDR 143 billion.

"Our total estimate is that there are 10,824 JHT or Rp143 billion. JKP 7,922 or Rp11.3 billion. So the benefit that will be disbursed for Sritex workers is Rp154.6 billion," said Anggoro.

"As of the 10th (March) yesterday, the benefits that have been paid are IDR 90.8 billion. This means that 58.7 percent has been realized as of 10 hours 11. We are targeting the 14th of all document processes to be completed. The 18th of all JKP payments are completed," he continued.

Anggoro appealed to workers affected by layoffs to immediately register through the SIAPkerja application to verify the JHT and JKP payments.

"And we continue to educate them when they are in a large room there is a big screen, the screen always rotates that after this they must immediately register in the ready-to-work application. Because the JKP entrance is ready to work so that they can be verified for payment," said Anggoro.

"So the service agreement for JHT is 5 days, for JKP it is 3 days. And JKP is in fact because it is directly processed on the spot, the payment is the next day or the day after tomorrow," he concluded.

Previously, Minister of Manpower Yassierli reported that around 11,025 workers at PT Sri Rejeki Isman Tbk or Sritex had been laid off since August 2024.

"The number of Sritex Group workers who have been laid off, starting from layoffs from August (2024), actually there are some," Yassierli said in the same meeting.

Yassierli explained that PT Sinar Pantja Djaja started layoffs in August 2024 as many as 340 workers. Then it continued in January 2025 where PT Bitratex Industries laid off 1,081 workers.

"In Bitratex Industries, the case is finally workers who ask for layoffs because they ask for certainty," he explained.

Then on February 26, 2025, PT Sritex Sukoharjo and several other companies laid off. The total number of workers who were laid off was 9,604 people.

"With a total of 9 thousand, this is the data we have received regarding the total layoffs since August 2024 in the context of the Sritex Group," he said.

Thus, if combined, the number of workers affected by layoffs from August 2024 to February 2025 will reach 11,025 workers.
