Dollar income

I would like to share my ideas with other colleagues who are undergoing overseas training or presently working with foreign companies (PMA) and multinational companies (MNC). In order to anticipate globalization and to meet the rising standard of living, you are entitled to receive all pay and benefits in US dollars instead of rupiah.

Also, I would like to suggest to the Ministry of Manpower that the minimum regional salaries applicable to MNCs and PMAs should be separated from the existing minimum regional salaries and should be adjusted annually according to the dollar exchange rate and other economic indicators.

In this way, the companies will generate a basic standard of living, stimulate Indonesia's economy and reduce cases of labor disputes in the future.
