JAKARTA - The implementation of an hourly wage payment scheme is considered to encourage increased investment which at the same time has an impact on job creation.

Agus emphasized that for the industrial sector, it will still follow the minimum monthly salary pattern. However, industrial supporting sectors, such as the service sector and trade, can take advantage of the application of hourly wages.
"So, the application of this hourly salary is for service workers and part-time workers. For example a consultant. The hourly wage scheme is actually a common practice in developed countries, "he said.
