ACEH - The Aceh Manpower and Population Mobility Service stated that small business actors in Aceh are free from illegal fees by certain social organizations (ormas), including holiday allowances (THR).

"Alhamdulillah, so far there have been no mass organizations (levies) for small business actors," said the Head of the Aceh Manpower and Population Mobility Service (Disnakermobduk) Akmil Husein in Banda Aceh, Antara, Friday, April 22.

Akmil emphasized that so far his party had never received reports of small business actors in Aceh being illegally collected by certain organizations.

"As far as I know, it has never been in Aceh, it has never been reported to us to this day," said Akmil.

However, Akmil said, his party has now also opened a THR complaint post through the district/city Manpower Office in Aceh so that the local government can then resolve it.

However, if the district/city Manpower Office is unable to resolve the public complaint, then the process is then delegated to the provincial government.

"Alhamdulillah, until now there has been no complaint to the province (related to THR payments), and we will open this post one day before Eid," said Akmil Husein.

To note, apart from the government, the Aceh Labor Alliance has also opened the THR complaint post, and so far they have received two complaints about the existence of private companies in Aceh that do not pay their THR workers.

Apart from those who did not pay, the Aceh Labor Alliance has also received reports that there are 20 companies that have already paid their employees' THR, and it is possible that some will immediately provide it.
