Jamsostek balance

Jamsostek balance

From Kompas

I received a statement showing the balance of my old age pension from Jamsostek (Workers' Social Security scheme) for 11 years on it, but only this year have I received two statements with a discrepancy amounting to some Rp 700,000.

As the statement is a computer printout, it has never occurred to me that it may contain a mistake in which the annual contribution fee reported was lower than the amount deducted from my monthly salary. A friend of mine found this mistake and complained about it to the personnel department of our company.

Close examination by our personnel department found that this difference was on all the statements of balance in our company. Our company complained about this to Jamsostek and received corrected statements.

If a similar mistake is also found in other companies across the country, the discrepancy may amount to trillions of rupiah. How many workers bother to calculate their contribution fees for this security program in a year? Where has the money gone to then?

Please check the balance of your workers' social security and ensure that their rights have not been robbed by anyone.
