        "content": "<p>DISNAKER Sumut tightens supervision of THR payments ahead of Lebaran\nthis year. As a concrete step, six UPTs are on standby to receive direct\ncomplaints from workers whose rights have not been fulfilled by their\nemployers.<\/p>\n<p>Head of the North Sumatra Department of Manpower (Disnaker Sumut),\nYuliani Siregar, revealed that Disnaker Sumut and six UPTs have\nestablished THR complaint posts in their respective areas of work.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We have appointed a dedicated admin to manage complaints,\u2019 she said\non Thursday (5\/3).<\/p>\n<p>According to her, Disnaker Sumut guarantees every report submitted to\nthe posts will be acted on promptly, whether via direct reports or\nthrough the online posko THR portal at poskothr.kemnaker.go.id.<\/p>\n<p>Labour inspectors will be deployed to conduct on-site inspections at\nthe companies named in the complaints. Inspectors will check the\ncompanies to determine the precise reasons THR was not paid.<\/p>\n<p>This move is expected to maintain harmonious industrial relations in\nNorth Sumatra, while ensuring workers\u2019 rights are fulfilled on time to\nenable a smooth religious holiday.<\/p>\n<p>She stressed that all companies must pay THR no later than seven days\nbefore the religious holiday (H-7). This provision is binding under\nPermenaker No.\u00a06 of 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Under this regulation, companies that are late in paying THR will be\nfined 5% of the total THR that should have been paid. The fine will be\nused for the welfare of workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In addition to fines, administrative sanctions also await stubborn\nemployers,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding THR amounts, she explained that workers with 12 months of\nservice or more are entitled to THR equal to one month\u2019s wage. For\nworkers with at least one month but less than 12 months of service, THR\nis paid proportionally.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Calculation is: length of service multiplied by one month\u2019s wage,\nthen divided by twelve. However, if service is less than one month, the\nworker is not entitled to THR,\u2019 she explained. (H-2)<\/p>",
