Head of the DKI Jakarta Manpower, Transmigration and Energy Agency (Disnakertransgi) Hari Nugroho said that his party would check the news that Tokopedia would terminate employment (PHK) for hundreds of its employees.

"Tomorrow we will send supervisory officers to the field," Hari said in a short message, Wednesday, June 12.

So far, the DKI Jakarta Manpower and Transmigration Office has not received any reports regarding the plan to dismiss hundreds of Tokopedia employees, both from the head office in South Jakarta and its branch offices.

"The results of monitoring with 5 regions and offices, to this day no one has recorded any layoffs at Tokopedia," said Hari.

Previously, news of layoffs from employees at Tokopedia had been reported by various national media and foreign media, after the e-Commerce was controlled by its stake by Chinese technology giant TikTok.

Layoffs are said to take place in June 2024. According to reports quoted from foreign media Bloomberg, these layoffs targeted 450 workers in the first round.

This means that there will be a possibility of a wave of further layoffs. Reportedly, the number of layoffs is still fluctuating along with the company's conditions.
