Symbolically, Head of the Cilincing BPJamsostek Branch Office, Haryani Rotua Melasari, handed over compensation to each heir of the Job Accident Insurance (JKK), Old Age Security (JHT) and Pension Security (JP), on Monday, January 22.

"Representing BPJS Employment personnel, we express our condolences for the death of the late Taufiq Akif Aunur Iman and Mustofa. Hopefully the compensation provided can be useful and ease the burden on the family left behind," said Haryani Rotua Melasari.

On that occasion, Ani, Haryani's nickname, also appreciated PT Pertamina Marine Solutions for registering her workforce in the Employment Social Security protection program, so that the family obtained their rights for the disaster that befell the two workers.

"Our hope is that this disaster can be an example and open the eyes of every employer or company that the protection of Employment Social Security is very important, because it is not only beneficial for workers but also for their families," concluded Ani.
