DENPASAR - The Provincial Government (Pemprov) of Bali through the Bali Manpower and Energy Office (DisnakerESDM) promised the Provincial Drinking Wage (UMP) in 2026 to be higher than the UMP value this year.
"What is clear is that the UMP and UMK (Regency/City Minimum Wage) next year will definitely be higher than this year, I make sure," said Head of Bali Health Office Ida Bagus Setiawan in Denpasar, Thursday, November 13.
It is known that the Bali UMP in 2025 is IDR 2,996,560, an increase of 6.5 percent or IDR 182,888 from 2024 which reached IDR 2,813,672.
Setiawan believes that the 2026 Bali UMP will rise again by taking into account a number of factors, such as the index parameters for the need for survival, but the exact value of the increase cannot be predicted.
Currently, the Bali Manpower Office is still waiting for the central government to stipulate a Regulation of the Minister of Manpower (Permenaker) which will contain implementation instructions and technical instructions.
On the sidelines of the release of 2,000 App2LN DPW 5 Bali and Eastern Indonesia Internship Participants, Setiawan took the time to communicate with the Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Yassierli to request an increase in Bali's UMP.
Later, after the Permenaker leaves, he said, the Bali Manpower Office together with the Wage Council can hold a meeting and be asked to send the UMP scale which will be processed by the central government, taking into account regional conditions, one of which is economic growth.
"Earlier, I have also tried to ask the Minister that it is currently in the process of being raised, but in principle the region is given the opportunity to prepare how much it is," he said.
"Each region must be different, now the Provincial Wage Council is preparing, so once there is a signal in the form of implementation instructions and technical instructions from the center, we will immediately hold a meeting," he said as quoted by Antara.
In the preparation at the end of 2024, the government determined that the increase in the UMP was accompanied by an increase in the Sectoral UMP (UMPS), where Bali decided to increase the UMPS for the tourism sector by 8.5 percent.
Untuk penyusunan akhir tahun ini, Setiawan belum dapat memastikan apakah sektor lain yang akan mengalami tambahan UMP, ini tergantung pada keputusan Dewan Pengupahan menyelitkan bidang usaha mana yang paling mendongkrak ekonomi daerah.
The Bali Provincial Government hopes that later the increase in hope for this workforce will also occur in regencies/cities, where previously five districts, namely Jembrana, Buleleng, Bangli, Klungkung, and Karangsem, could not determine that the UMK would only follow the UMP, so that it could exceed.
