JAKARTA - The Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Ida Fauziyah ensured that there was no leakage of wage or salary subsidy assistance (BSU). Ida also guarantees that the assistance received by workers will not be reduced. This is because the assistance is directly transferred to the account of the beneficiary.
"We believe there was no leakage. Because the money was immediately transferred to the accounts of the recipients. So we didn't stop anywhere, the Ministry of Manpower didn't stop by, so the money was after we distributed it to the channeling bank, namely Himbara Bank from Himbara, directly to the account of the worker, the account was the recipient of the program," he said in a virtual discussion, Tuesday, September 6.
Ida also guarantees that BSU recipients will receive assistance with a nominal value of IDR 600,000. Even if there is an additional cost when distributing it with PT Pos Indonesia, it will be fully borne by the government.
"And even if there must be a fee, the cost for PT Pos must be issued and the government will not charge the recipient of the program. So the recipient of the program receiving Rp. 600,000 cannot be less than Rp. 1," he said.
On this occasion, Ida also said that this wage or salary subsidy assistance was intended for workers in the formal sector. Meanwhile, workers in the informal sector, continued Ida, will receive assistance from other programs. Such as PKH, BLT, and others.
"I convey that what is managed by the Ministry of Manpower is for workers or laborers, the formal sector. Of course in the outside sector there must be other assistance. For example, assistance provided to fishermen, online motorcycle taxi drivers, public transport drivers, local governments will use an allocation of 2 percent of general transfer funds (DTU), beyond that there are other programs," he explained.
"There are PKH programs, other BLT programs, there are Pre-Employment Card programs, and others. So we, the Ministry of Manpower, only focus on formal workers, beyond that, become the main task of other ministries," he continued.
