90 Companies in Central Java Reported to Labour Ministry over Holiday Allowance Payments
SEMARANG — Ninety companies in Central Java province have been reported to the Complaint and Consultation Desk for Holiday Allowance (THR) at the Department of Manpower and Transmigration (Disnakertrans) Central Java. They have been reported in relation to holiday allowance payments.
“The total number of companies reported stands at 90 as of today,” said Ahmad Aziz, head of Disnakertrans Central Java, when interviewed regarding complaints recorded by the THR Complaint and Consultation Desk of Disnakertrans Central Java on Tuesday (17 March 2026).
He added that the reported companies operate in the manufacturing and medical services sectors. According to Aziz, there were also reports involving government agencies.
“So we are categorising and selecting cases. Some workers have PKWT status—fixed-term contracts. In accordance with applicable regulations, if the contract ends on H-1 (the day before the holiday), they do not receive THR. There are quite a few of these complaints where the complainants have PKWT status,” said Aziz.
Aziz explained that if the cases reported by PKWT workers match his description, companies indeed have no obligation to pay THR. “So it’s clear: if the company refuses to pay, the regulation stipulates that workers are not entitled to THR. Instead, they should receive one-time wage compensation,” he said.
He stated that his office has deployed labour supervision team members to clarify complaints and reports submitted to the THR Complaint and Consultation Desk of Disnakertrans Central Java. “From the 90 companies reported, we categorise and filter them, and we will then identify which companies have truly failed to provide THR in accordance with regulations,” said Aziz.
The THR Complaint and Consultation Desk of Disnakertrans Central Java opened on 2 March 2026 and will operate until 31 March 2026. In addition to the head office of Disnakertrans Central Java, complaint desks regarding THR have also been opened at six Labour Supervision Units across Central Java, namely in Surakarta, Magelang, Pati, Banyumas, Pekalongan, and Semarang. These desks operate Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 14:30 WIB (Western Indonesian Time).
