JAKARTA - Sriwijaya Air Group reportedly offered employees to resign or resign voluntarily. This is due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that never ends, thus making the company's liquidity decrease.

Information regarding this resign offer is known from sriwijaya air group's internal memos circulating. The internal memo was signed by Human Resources Director Anthony Raymond Tampubonon dated May 21, 2021.

"Management needs to decide on strategic steps in the field of staffing in accelerating the rescue process of the company," wrote a statement from Sriwijaya Air Group, quoted by VOI, Monday, May 24.

The intended step is to allow employees who are currently housed to resign. For employees who want to resign, the company provides a separate money policy based on the period of employment.

First, for employees with a working period of more than or equal to one year and less than three years are given a split of one month's salary. Second, employees with a working period of more than or equal to three years and less than six years are given a split fee of two months salary.

Third, employees with a working period of more than six years are given a separation fee of three months salary.

"The company waives the penalty fee for the employment contract, but does not include soft loans or corporate loans to employees who approved his or her resignation application," the memo added.

In addition, Sriwijaya Air Group slashed its wage policy to employees who are currently homeless, from a return of 25 percent to 10 percent of basic salary.

This policy is effective from the moment the internal memo is issued or on May 21, 2021, until further notice. The memo was addressed to the Board of Directors and Commissioners of PT Sriwijaya Air, the Board of Directors of PT NAM Air, and the Board of Directors of PT SJNAM Anugerah Mulai.

"The Board of Directors and the board of managers immediately convey this information transparently to employees in their respective affected work units in accordance with points 1 through 3 above, and delivered directly both offline and online," the memo added.

VOI is still trying to confirm this information to Sriwijaya Air. But until this news is made, there has been no response from the airline whose plane crashed in the waters of the Thousand Islands on January 9, 2021.
