JAKARTA - The Ministry of Manpower noted that 336 companies were suspected of committing violations of the 2020 holiday allowance (THR). This data was obtained from complaints received by the command post (Posko) for complaints from the Ministry of Manpower's THR.
The Minister of Manpower, Ida Fauziyah, said that the Ministry of Manpower coordinated with labor agencies to follow up and carry out examinations of 453 complaints reported by workers or laborers from 11-25 May.
Details of the 453 complaints about THR payment are 146 complaints due to THR not being paid, 3 complaints about THR that have not been agreed upon, 78 complaints due to THR being late in payment and 226 complaints due to THR not being paid.
"Currently, we have coordinated with the local Manpower Office to follow up the inspection by labor inspectors in the context of law enforcement," he said, in a written statement received by VOI, in Jakarta, Thursday, May 28.
Ida said that the initial examination of the alleged violation of THR payments was indeed focused on sorting out the four categories of THR complaints, namely the THR had not been paid, the THR had not been agreed upon, the THR was late in payment and the THR was not paid.
"The labor inspectors who go to the field will confirm the condition of the company and the alleged THR payment violation. Whether the company is in the THR category has not been paid or the THR has not been agreed upon. Because until now there has been no discussion at all regarding the THR payment," he said.
However, Ida said, there is also another category, namely THR late payment if there is an agreement between the two parties regarding the delay or phasing of THR payments. Finally, the THR category is not paid, which must be investigated the reasons and reasons for the company not paying THR.
"What is certain is that we mobilize labor inspectors throughout Indonesia to follow up on any complaints that come to the THR complaint post so that the problem can be resolved immediately," he explained.
Based on current data from the Ministry of Manpower, there are 1,353 labor inspectors consisting of 1,237 labor inspectors at the provincial level and 116 central labor inspectors at the Ministry of Manpower.
Regarding the sanctions for companies that do not pay THR, Ida emphasized that there are administrative sanctions in the form of written warning sanctions and sanctions to limit business activities.
"Meanwhile, employers who are late in paying Religious THR to workers / laborers will be subject to a fine of 5 percent. This fine is managed and used for the welfare of workers / laborers, and does not eliminate the employer's obligation to continue to pay Religious THR to workers / laborers," he said.
