JAKARTA - Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Yassierli asked the industry to comply with the provisions on the provision of holiday allowances (THR) for workers or holiday bonuses (BHR) for online taxi driver partners (ojol).
This is in accordance with the Circular (SE) of the Minister of Manpower Number M/3/HK.04.00/III/2026 concerning the Implementation of the Provision of Religious Holiday Allowance (THR) for 2026 for Workers / Labor in Companies and Circular (SE) of the Minister of Manpower Number M/4/HK.04.00/III/2026 concerning the Provision of Religious Holiday Bonus (BHR) for 2026 for Drivers and Couriers in Application-Based Transportation Services.
"The government appeals, of course we hope that every industry can hear it. The same, for example, as BHR, or the holiday bonus for taxi friends. We appeal, the president also appeals with a circular and is followed," said Yassierli as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, March 12.
Based on Government Regulation Number 36 of 2021 concerning Wages and the Minister of Manpower Regulation Number 6 of 2016 concerning Religious Holiday Allowance for Workers or Labor in Companies, the provision of religious THR is an obligation that must be carried out by employers to workers/labor.
The nominal amount of religious THR to workers must also be given through provisions that have been regulated in regulations, and must not be paid in installments.
Religious THR must be paid no later than seven days before the Religious Holiday, but companies are urged to pay it earlier before the deadline.
Meanwhile, he said the Religious BHR was given by the application company to drivers and online couriers who were officially registered with the application company within the last 12 months.
The Religious BHR is given in the form of cash at least 25 percent of the average net income for the past 12 months.
"Application companies should be transparent in calculating the amount of Religious BHR to drivers and online couriers," said Yassierli.
Just like the THR for workers, the BHR for ojol and online couriers is given no later than seven days before Eid al-Fitr 1447 H.
