Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia — Labour Minister Yassierli personally inspected the THR and BHR Religious Holiday Benefits Post, opened by the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker). The Post, located at the Integrated One-Stop Service (PTSA) Kemnaker, Gedung B, 1st Floor, South Jakarta, was established to ensure workers’ rights to THR and BHR ahead of Eid al-Fitr 1447 H.

The THR and Religious Holiday Bonus Post offers two main services: consultation and complaints. The consultation service has been open since 2 March 2026, addressing questions about THR and BHR rights, eligibility, calculation methods, and issues in special circumstances such as termination of employment (PHK).

‘Things workers usually ask are whether I am eligible to receive THR if I work but then there is a PHK case, and so on. Then how to calculate it. This Post exists to answer all those questions,’ Yassierli said while inspecting Kemnaker’s THR and BHR Post in South Jakarta, Thursday (5 March 2026).

In addition to consultation, the Post provides a complaints service, activated in the seven days before Eid, in line with the government’s THR payment deadline. The complaints service operates daily from 08:00 to 15:00 WIB, including Saturdays, Sundays, and even on holidays. Through this service, workers can report various THR payment issues, such as THR that has not been paid or paid in instalments.

Each complaint received is immediately followed up by an employment inspector on duty every day at the Post. This mechanism ensures every worker’s report receives a prompt response and appropriate handling in accordance with laws and regulations.

To broaden the reach of the service, Kemnaker also provides online access to consultation and complaints via the website poskothr.kemnaker.go.id and WhatsApp Chat at number 081280001112. Yassierli emphasised that the ease of access is designed so that all workers can utilise the Post without needing to visit in person.

‘S// I also urge that the THR and BHR Post exist at every provincial, city, and regency labour office, as well as industrial areas. All such posts must be integrated with the Ministry’s THR Post. The public should not necessarily come in person to the Post, but can also use WhatsApp first,’ he stated.

Closing his visit, Yassierli delivered a stern message to all employers to fulfil THR and BHR obligations on time and in accordance with the provisions.

‘THR and BHR are workers’ rights that must be fulfilled. We will not hesitate to take action against employers who ignore these obligations. The state is present to ensure every worker can celebrate the holiday peacefully and joyfully with their families,’ he concluded.
