JAKARTA - The Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker) continues to socialize the application for the 2022 Religious THR Complaints Post to oversee the implementation of the payment of religious holiday allowances (THR) this year and anticipate complaints related to its implementation.

In a statement received in Jakarta, Wednesday, the Director-General of Labor Supervision and Occupational Safety and Health (Binwasnaker and K3) Haiyani Rumondang said that the THR Post service carried out via the poskothr.kemnaker.go.id website anticipates ignorance and discrepancies in the implementation of religious THR payments.

"According to the Decree of the Minister of Manpower M/1/HK.04/IV/2022 on April 6, the THR becomes the right of workers, therefore in its implementation it needs to be properly monitored by the Kadisnaker of provinces/districts/cities throughout Indonesia," said Haiyani at the virtual meeting with the Head of Manpower Office or the Provincial/District/City Head of Manpower, reported by Antara, Wednesday, April 13.

She explained that technically the THR that employers must give to workers in 2022 is very different compared to 2020 and 2021. The policy for giving THR this year is returned to before the pandemic.

"Of course, there will be dynamics later. In addition to your duty to oversee the provision of THR, the dynamics will be responding through the post, carrying out complaints, and how to apply these rules," she said.

Regarding the monitoring of the implementation of religious THR payments, she said, the Ministry of Manpower cannot work alone. Good and effective commitment and coordination are needed between the center and the regions to properly resolve problems related to THR.

In addition, Haiyani highlighted that THR posts in the regions would later follow up if there was a violation in THR payments.

The existence of a site-based THR Posko channel is not only a means for workers to complain about THR problems. The virtual post can also be used as a reference for companies to seek information and consult regarding THR payments based on Permenaker Number 6 of 2016.

"I really hope that this meeting can be useful for all of us, especially workers/laborers, SP/SB, entrepreneurs and stakeholders in creating a conducive employment climate," said Haiyani.
