JAKARTA - The Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker) appeals to the business world to immediately fulfill the obligation to provide religious holiday allowances (THR) for workers and if they have high profits to give higher THR to their employees.
In a statement received in Jakarta, Monday, April 11, the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Manpower Anwar Sanusi said the appeal was issued after his party issued Circular Letter (SE) Number M/1/HK.04/IV/2022 dated April 6, 2022, regarding the Implementation of the Granting of Religious THR in 2022.
"THR will be more enjoyable for workers/laborers as prices for basic necessities have increased recently. More THR will also make workers more enthusiastic and productive when they return to work after celebrating Eid al-Fitr," he said as quoted by Antara.
Speaking in a virtual coordination meeting with the heads of the provincial manpower offices throughout Indonesia today, Anwar said through the manpower office that companies are advised to pay THR immediately. In addition, companies that have high profits and expansion are better advised to give more THR to workers.

He hopes that, like the previous year, the implementation of giving THR 2022 can run effectively. One of the steps prepared is the existence of a virtual THR Command Post as an effort to provide assistance to workers and employers.
The command post will also be a forum for anyone who wants to conduct consultations or complaints regarding the implementation of this year's THR.
Apart from being virtual, the Ministry of Manpower also serves face-to-face complaints and consultations.
Anwar hopes that the presence of the THR Command Post can be an important part in the successful implementation of the THR provision and that all complaints and consultations can be responded to as well as possible.
"It is hoped that the THR Command Post which has been prepared virtually will be used by the provincial, district/city Manpower Office to convey to companies in their area, so that we can monitor how complaints/consultation are submitted to the https://poskothr.kemnaker.go.id channel," said Anwar. .
