Bonuses for civil servants<\/p>\n
From Suara Karya<\/p>\n
A few years ago civil servants, pensioners and Armed Forces
\nmembers received a bonus of one month salary, also called the
\n13th month salary. This extra salary was usually given a few days
\nbefore Idul Fitri celebrations, Christmas or New Year.<\/p>\n
But nowadays this is not longer the case.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, employees of the private companies are
\nluckier. The Minister of Manpower instructed the companies to pay
\nattention on the fate of their workers. Then the minimum wage
\nscheme was implemented. Besides, the workers were also entitled
\nto one month salary bonus which had to be paid a few days before
\nthe Idul Fitri day.<\/p>\n
I was wondering why civil servants, pensioners and Armed
\nForces members are not entitled to such a welfare scheme? It is
\ntrue that the salaries of the latter group were raised by ten
\npercent. But this increase was immediately followed by a
\nfantastic increase of the prices of basic commodities. So the
\nincrease meant very little to the receivers.<\/p>\n
I think the government and the legislators should give due
\nconsideration to this matter. So that in the future the less
\nprivilege group will also enjoy an extra one month salary.<\/p>\n
