The Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) regrets the news about a female employee demanding her rights because she has been working overtime. It is known that the demanding employee came from PT SAI Apparel Idustries in Grobogan, Central Java.

This was viral on Instagram @undercover.id, some time ago.

Responding to this, the Director General of Binwasnaker and K3 of the Ministry of Manpower, Haiyani Rumondang, said that the results of the team's examination in the field confirmed that there had been an argument between workers on behalf of Erma and a foreign worker (TKA) from India named Shanji.

"The foreign workers have apologized and will then be summoned by the Grobogan Police. Meanwhile, workers have stated that they will respect applicable company regulations," said Haiyani in an official statement, Saturday, February 4.

Haiyani explained, from the results of the examination, it was also found that there was a violation of the payment of overtime wages that had occurred since September 2022.

"The company has stated that it will pay the lack of overtime wages, starting 5-6 days from the day of the inspection," he explained.

Regarding normative violations, Haiyani emphasized that the company must comply with the applicable laws and regulations, and an Examination Note will be issued by the Manpower Supervisory.

"So that similar incidents do not occur, both at the company concerned and other companies, we ask all parties to prioritize social dialogue when there is a labor problem in their work environment," he concluded.
