JAKARTA - The government through the Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Ida Fauziyah said that business actors are required to pay holiday allowances (THR) no later than seven days before Eid al-Fitr.

The decision was contained in the Circular Letter of the Minister of Manpower M/2/HK.04.00/III/2023 concerning the Implementation of the 2023 Religious THR for Workers/Laborers in Companies.

"THR must be paid in full," said Ida, quoted from the official website on Sunday, April 16.

Referring to these provisions, the company's final limit to its employees regarding the THR is on Saturday, April 15 with the assumption that Lebaran falls at the end of next week. It was also stated that employers are not allowed to pay or pay in installments of holiday allowance payments.

What if there are companies that are stubborn and do not follow government regulations?

Minister Ida emphasized that companies found not to carry out their obligations after the provisions will be subject to sanctions in two categories.

First, companies that are late in paying the THR will be fined 5 percent of the total THR that must be paid. Later the funds will be managed for the welfare of the employees concerned.

Second, do not pay the THR. Companies that take this action will receive quite harsh sanctions, ranging from written warnings from the government, restrictions on business activities, termination of business activities, to freezing the business itself.

So, how can employees help the government in the success of the THR program?
