Jakarta \u2014 The Indonesian government through the Ministry of Labour\nhas issued a further warning to all employers in Indonesia to pay\nReligious Holiday Allowance (THR) on time.<\/p>\n
This warning was conveyed by Labour Minister Yassierli in a circular\nissued on 2 March 2026 with number M\/3\/HK.04.00\/III\/2026.<\/p>\n
In the circular, Yassierli requested all provincial governors\nthroughout Indonesia to reiterate the provision of THR to workers and\nlabourers of companies.<\/p>\n
The core of the circular contains seven points regarding the\nimplementation of Religious Holiday Allowance provision, detailing the\npayment of allowances to workers.<\/p>\n
The second point urges companies to pay THR early, at least seven\ndays before the religious holiday takes place.<\/p>\n
The third point concerns the amount of THR that must be paid by\nemployers. For workers with a tenure of 12 months or more, the allowance\nis equivalent to one month\u2019s salary.<\/p>\n
For those with less than 12 months of service, the calculation is\n(tenure divided by 12 months) multiplied by one month\u2019s salary.<\/p>\n
The fourth point regulates daily wage workers, whose THR is\ncalculated based on the average wage received over the previous 12\nmonths of employment.<\/p>\n
The fifth point addresses workers whose wages are determined based on\noutput units; in such cases, one month\u2019s wage is calculated as the\naverage wage over the previous 12 months.<\/p>\n
The final seventh point stipulates that Religious Holiday Allowances\nmust be paid by employers in full and cannot be paid in instalments.<\/p>\n
Beyond THR for company employees, the government has also issued a\ncircular regarding the provision of Religious Holiday Bonus (BHR) to\nride-hailing motorcycle taxi drivers and app-based couriers.<\/p>\n
Circular Menaker Number M\/4\/HK.04.00\/III\/2026 contains five points.\nThe first states that BHR is provided by application companies to\nregistered ride-hailing and courier drivers who have been active for the\nprevious 12 months.<\/p>\n
The second point specifies that Religious Holiday Bonus is provided\nin cash of at least 25 percent of the average net income over the\nprevious 12 months.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/regulations-on-thr-and-bhr-payments-for-ride-hailing-drivers-and-sanctions-for-violations-1773208593", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
