JAKARTA - Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Ida Fauziyah asked employers to pay holiday allowances (THR) for their workers on time. Where the deadline for paying the THR is D-7 before Eid al-Fitr 1445 H or Eid Al-Fitr 2024.

If you calculate the Eid al-Fitr time which is estimated to fall on April 10, 2024, then the deadline for paying THR from employers to workers is April 3, 2024.

Furthermore, Ida said, the holiday allowance or THR itself is one of the company's obligations to its workers.

"This religious THR must be paid no later than 7 days before religious holidays," said Ida at the THR Giving Press Conference, at the Ministry of Manpower Office, Jakarta, March 18.

In addition, Ida also asked the company to pay in full its THR. This means that companies are prohibited from making payments in stages or in installments.

"THR this religion must be paid in full, not in installments. Once again I reiterate that THR must be paid in full and cannot be paid in installments," he said.

Ida emphasized that entrepreneurs must comply with this regulation. This rule has also been contained in a circular that has been distributed to entrepreneurs and local government officials.

"I ask the company, once again I ask the company to pay attention and I hope the company obeys this provision," he said.

For your information, THR has the right to be accepted by workers with indefinite time work agreements (PKWTT), certain time work agreements (PKWT), including workers or casual daily laborers. This is also included in the category regulated in the Law.
