Do not be fooled! Circumcised but replaceable employers …

JAKARTA – Labor Minister (Menaker) Ida Fauziyah don’t deny that severance pay victim Termination of Employment (PHK)deducted from the payment by the employer. However, it is replaced by Job Loss Guarantee (JKP) by the Government.

According to him, the JKP program is drawn from the State Income and Expenditure Budget (APBN) which amounts to 6 billion IDR. From this program, the fired victims received benefits in the form of cash for job training. His party claims that the budget has been included in the law and approved by Finance Minister Sri Mulyani. “We agreed that the initial funds would be taken from the APBN at a maximum of Rp. 6 billion,” he said.

To obtain information, the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) had previously established the terms and procedures for employers who would lay off employees. Thus, it is not true that dismissed workers do not receive severance pay. “We provide certainty that the right to compensation is received with a different scheme than compensation. Workers can also guarantee the loss of employment, which is known in Law No. 13/2003,” he said. Also read: Jokowi requests that the regulation derived from the Ciptaker Law be completed in a month
