JAKARTA - The government through the Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani said that she had issued Government Regulation (PP) number 15 of 2023 which regulates the policy of granting holiday allowances (THR) and 13th salary.

It is stated that this year's THR is given based on the calculation of salary / principal pensions and allowances attached to salary / principal allowances (family allowances, food allowances, structural / functional / general office allowances) and 50 percent of performance allowances.

"For Regional Government Agencies, the maximum is 50% additional income by taking into account regional fiscal capacity capabilities and in accordance with statutory regulations. Meanwhile, teachers and lecturers who do not receive performance allowances/income increases are given 50 percent of teacher professional allowances and 50 percent of teaching professional allowances," said the Minister of Finance on Wednesday, March 25.

The state treasurer explained that the THR budget and 13 salary have generally been allocated in the State Budget for Fiscal Year 2023 through ministries/agencies (K/L) with a total of around Rp. 11.7 trillion for Central ASN, state officials, TNI soldiers, and members of the National Police.

Then, for regional ASN Rp17.4 trillion and can be added from the 2023 FY APBD according to the fiscal capacity of each regional government, as well as retirees of Rp9.8 trillion from the general treasury.

The Minister of Finance said that the THR policy is part of the instrument in the APBN as an effort to maintain the momentum of national economic recovery towards normalization of community activities. Meanwhile, Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr are one of the moments to encourage public consumption growth, including through the provision of THR for employees, state apparatus, and retirees.

"With the handling of covid which is quite under control, on the other hand, economic recovery faces very uncertain global challenges, especially in the form of a global economic slowdown, geopolitical conditions that affect economic conditions, and monetary policy trends to deal with inflation that tend to remain, the policy of giving THR and 13th salary is adjusted to current challenges and conditions," he said.

He added that THR 2023 was given to all state and retirees, consisting of Central ASN, state officials, TNI soldiers, and members of the National Police around 1.8 million people. Regional ASN around 3.7 million people, including ASND teachers who received TPG (1.1 million people), ASND teachers who received Tamsil (527.4 thousand people), retirees and pension recipients of around 2.9 million people.

THR disbursement is planned to start on D-10 Eid al-Fitr where K/L can apply for SPM to KPPN starting from D-10 by adjusting the determination of collective leave by the Government and can be disbursed by KPPN according to the applicable mechanism. Meanwhile, the 13th salary which is educational assistance will be carried out starting in June 2023 with the same components and group of recipient apparatus as THR 2023.

"The regulation of the technical implementation of THR and the 13th salary will be regulated by Permenkeu for those sourced from the APBN and with Perkada for those sourced from the APBD," closed the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani.
