Businesses must maintain balance,\u201d he said during\nan interview at Indomaret Tower on Tuesday. \u201cFuel prices have risen,\npackaging costs have increased, and raw material prices are up. All\nthese factors are driving up operational costs,\u201d he added. \u201cIf these\ncosts rise without balancing business operations, it would disrupt the\ncompany\u2019s financial equilibrium,\u201d he continued. He clarified that\novertime pay has not been abolished entirely. \u201cWe have not abolished\novertime pay entirely. Some days will be compensated with leave, while\nothers still receive overtime wages,\u201d he said. The specifics of the new\nscheme are currently being discussed with the Ministry of Manpower. He\nstated the overtime adjustment is part of efforts to streamline costs\namid rising distribution and store service expenses. \u201cIf we don\u2019t\noperate efficiently with our costs, it becomes an immense burden,\u201d he\nsaid. \u201cIn rural areas, distances can exceed 200 kilometres \u2013 for example\nin Sulawesi, stores are hundreds of kilometres apart. This incurs\nsignificant costs,\u201d he explained. \u201cYet we must continue providing\nservice to customers,\u201d he added. The company hopes employees will\nunderstand the situation, enabling both parties to weather economic\npressures together.<\/p>",
