JAKARTA - The Ministry of Manpower asks online transportation companies (ojol) to provide Eid Al-Fitr 2024 allowances (THR) to their drivers. This includes logistics companies to provide THR for their couriers.

This refers to the Minister of Manpower Circular Number M / 2 / HK.04 / III / 2024 concerning the Implementation of the 2024 Religious Holiday Allowances for Workers / Laborers in Companies.

Director General of Industrial Relations and Employment Social Security (PHI-JSK) Indah Anggoro Putri said that although the work relationship is a partnership, ojol and logistics courier remain in the category of Certain Time Workers (PKWT).

"We have established communication with directors, management, ojol, or workers who work with digital platforms, including logistics couriers to pay THR as covered by this Religious THR SE," he said at the Ministry of Manpower Office, Jakarta, written Tuesday, March 19.

Regarding the 2024 Religious THR SE, said Putri, the Ministry of Manpower will streamline the information both from print and online media, as well as through Mediators of Industrial Relations, Manpower Supervisors, and Heads of Manpower Offices throughout Indonesia.

"We have informed you to provide guidance, encouragement as well as explanations regarding the implementation of the 2024 Religious THR payment so that it is on time," he said.

There Is A Company That Will Pay THR After Eid

Putri revealed that there are already companies that have reported to the Ministry of Manpower to pay Religious THR to their workers after Eid Al-Fitr 2024.

"For this reason, we will continue to assist as much as possible so that the Religious THR can be paid according to the Minister of Manpower's Circular," he explained.

Putri also explained that there must be a joint decision between workers and employers if they are forced to pay their Religious THR after the holiday with certain conditions that cannot be anticipated.

"We remain optimistic that God willing, the THR will be paid on time," he said.
