        "summary": "Ninety companies in Central Java province have been reported to the Department of Manpower and Transmigration's Holiday Allowance complaint desk for alleged failures in paying workers their Tunjangan Hari Raya (THR).

        "content": "<p>SEMARANG \u2014 Ninety companies in Central Java province have been\nreported to the Complaint and Consultation Desk for Holiday Allowance\n(THR) at the Department of Manpower and Transmigration (Disnakertrans)\nCentral Java. They have been reported in relation to holiday allowance\npayments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe total number of companies reported stands at 90 as of today,\u201d\nsaid Ahmad Aziz, head of Disnakertrans Central Java, when interviewed\nregarding complaints recorded by the THR Complaint and Consultation Desk\nof Disnakertrans Central Java on Tuesday (17 March 2026).<\/p>\n<p>He added that the reported companies operate in the manufacturing and\nmedical services sectors. According to Aziz, there were also reports\ninvolving government agencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we are categorising and selecting cases. Some workers have PKWT\nstatus\u2014fixed-term contracts. In accordance with applicable regulations,\nif the contract ends on H-1 (the day before the holiday), they do not\nreceive THR. There are quite a few of these complaints where the\ncomplainants have PKWT status,\u201d said Aziz.<\/p>\n<p>Aziz explained that if the cases reported by PKWT workers match his\ndescription, companies indeed have no obligation to pay THR. \u201cSo it\u2019s\nclear: if the company refuses to pay, the regulation stipulates that\nworkers are not entitled to THR. Instead, they should receive one-time\nwage compensation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that his office has deployed labour supervision team\nmembers to clarify complaints and reports submitted to the THR Complaint\nand Consultation Desk of Disnakertrans Central Java. \u201cFrom the 90\ncompanies reported, we categorise and filter them, and we will then\nidentify which companies have truly failed to provide THR in accordance\nwith regulations,\u201d said Aziz.<\/p>\n<p>The THR Complaint and Consultation Desk of Disnakertrans Central Java\nopened on 2 March 2026 and will operate until 31 March 2026. In addition\nto the head office of Disnakertrans Central Java, complaint desks\nregarding THR have also been opened at six Labour Supervision Units\nacross Central Java, namely in Surakarta, Magelang, Pati, Banyumas,\nPekalongan, and Semarang. These desks operate Monday to Friday from\n07:30 to 14:30 WIB (Western Indonesian Time).<\/p>",
