YOGYAKARTA Did you know that private employees have a legal limited working period? This means that private workers have maximum age before finally being declared retired. Then how old is the retirement age of private employees if you look at the official rules? Check out the following explanation.

Simply put, retirement is the process of ending the worker's tenure, from those who initially worked regularly and then went into a period of rest. The retirement period can also be understood as an active period that has ended.

Reporting from the weekly bulletin of the DPR RI Issues for a week, as of January 2025 the retirement age of workers in Indonesia is now 59 years old. This means that if this year private employees are at the age of 60, it means that they have entered retirement.

The rules for the retirement age limit for these workers have been regulated in Government Regulation (PP) No. 45 of 2015 concerning the Implementation of the Pension Guarantee Program.

"The retirement age as referred to in paragraph (2) will then increase by 1 (one) year for every 3 (three) years later until retirement age of 65 (sixty five) years," reads Article 15 paragraph (3) in the PP.

It should be noted that in PP No. 45/2015 explains that the retirement age limit for workers will be increased by 1 year every three years.

The first increase in retirement age was carried out in 2015 through PP which was issued. At that time, the increase in retirement age from 55 years to 56 years. After that, the retirement age continued to change to three times, namely 2019, 2022, and 2025 with a retirement age of 59 years.

With the PP governing the Implementation of the Pension Guarantee Program, it is certain that the retirement age of employees in Indonesia will continue to increase along with the increase in years. The following is the retirement age of private workers according to the year.

Even though private employees have entered retirement age, there are no rules that prohibit re-hiring workers at retirement age. Retired workers allow to remain employed as long as workers have the ability to do the work they are responsible for.

Likewise from the employer's side. As long as employers still need the energy or skills of retired workers, extending their tenure is not a matter that violates the law. However, workers are still obliged to fulfill their rights and obligations to workers.
