The Permenaker is no later than December 7th. Or usually the sooner the better," he concluded.

Previously, it was reported that the Tangerang Regency Manpower Office (Disnaker) had received a proposal to increase the 2023 UMK based on the agreement of the trade union and the Tangerang Regency Wage Council.

The head of the Tangerang Regency Manpower Office, Rudi Hartono, said that in the results of the 2023 UMK agreement, Tangerang Regency was proposed to increase by 7.48 percent or IDR 316,463.

He added that the proposal was not final because his party would first convey it to the Tangerang Regent, which would later be reported to the Governor of Banten.

"This is not final, for the increase we are still waiting because this is still being proposed later to the Regent and then to the Governor. So we still have to wait for the determination from the Provincial Government," Rudi said when confirmed, Wednesday, November 30.
