BPJS Ketenagakerjaan appealed to all employers and non-wage earners to register in the social protection program.

This was conveyed by the Head of the Tangerang Jamsostek BP Office, Cikokol, regarding a courier who died while on duty delivering a package recently.

"We ask all employers and workers, both beneficiaries, not beneficiaries, non-state civil servants, construction service workers and Indonesian migrant workers to protect themselves from socio-economic risks that can occur anytime and anywhere by becoming BP Jamsostek (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) participants," he said in Tangerang, Friday, February 24, confiscated by Antara.

He also expressed his deepest condolences for the death of the courier who turned out to be an active participant in BPJS Ketenagakerjaan since August 2020. A number of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan responsibilities were given to the family concerned.

"BP Jamsostek is obliged to pay compensation for the benefits of the JKK program which is Yuslan's right because he has been registered," he said.
