The amount of THR 2023 for Workers

The provision of THR to workers is regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2016 concerning Religious Holiday Allowances for Workers/Labourers in Companies.

According to the regulation, workers/laborers who have a continuous work period of 12 months or more will be given THR of one month's wages.

Meanwhile, workers/laborers whose work period is not even one year, THR is given proportionally, according to their working period, with a formula (work period x 1 month wage : 12).

For workers/laborers who have a freelance daily work agreement, the amount of THR can be calculated based on the average wage received during the last 12 months before religious holidays. The same applies to workers whose wages are determined based on the unit of results.

If the daily work period is not even one year or less than 12 months, then the salary of one month is calculated based on the average wage received every month during the working period.
