Minister of Manpower Published Circular Letter to Ensure THR

medcom.id, Jakarta: Minister of Manpower M. Hanif Dhakiri published a Circular Letter (SE) No. 7/MEN/VI/2015 on the Payment of Religious Holiday Allowance and Advisory on Joint Eid Holiday Travel. The circular was published with hope of assuring the payment of holiday allowance (THR) to be conducted accordingly.
 
Minister Hanif explained, the circular on the payment of Religious Holiday Allowance (THR) and joint holiday travel was intended for the governors, regents and mayors throughout Indonesia. With the circular, Hanif reaffirmed that the holiday allowance payment is the employers' responsibility to all workers.
 
"Holiday allowance payment must be conducted consistently and on time according to the regulation to create a harmonic and conducive work relationship at the workplace," Hanif wrote in a press release in Jakarta, Tuesday (6/30/2015).

Allowance for the workers is a tradition as one of the efforts to fulfill the needs of workers and their families in celebrating Religious Holiday. In the circular, the minister also urged governors, regents and mayors to pay attention and reaffirm to employers in their regions to conduct the allowance payments on time according to the regulation.
 
"To all regional heads across Indonesia, we ask to always pay attention and reaffirm to employers in their regions in conducting the allowance payment on time," affirmed Hanif.
 
It is mentioned in the letter that based on the Minister of Manpower Regulation, every company employing workers is mandated to provide religious holiday allowance to the workers with three months of employment or more.
            
The regulated amount of allowance based on the religious allowance regulation is one month of salary for workers over 12 months of employment or more.
            
Meanwhile, workers with three months of employment but less than 12 months are given proportional allowance with the calculation of: numbers of months employed divided by 12 months times a month's salary.
            
Nevertheless, for companies which have arranged allowance payment within their work contracts, company regulation or mutual work agreement, and considered to be better than the mentioned regulation, then the allowance payment to the workers should be based on the existing company regulations or agreements.
