ENSURING WORKER PROTECTION THROUGH JHT, JKP: MANPOWER MINISTRY

The old-age benefits (JHT) and social security schemes of laid-off workers (JKP) programs are
expected to strengthen the protection of workers, Director General for the Development of
Industrial Relations and Social Security for Workers at the Manpower Ministry Indah Anggoro
Putri said.

"Until now, the Manpower Ministry sees that Manpower Ministry's Regulation Number 19 of 2015
regarding JHT is still relevant, considering the situation and conditions of employment are still
impacted by COVID-19 pandemic," she said in a statement issued in Jakarta on Tuesday.

The Manpower Ministry is ensuring that the benefits of the JHT program, as regulated in the
Regulation of the Manpower Ministry Regulation Number 19 of 2015 concerning Procedures and
Requirements for Payment of Old Age Security Benefits, are still valid, she added.

On the other hand, the benefits of the Job Loss Insurance program will be visible in 2022 and
the program will need to be monitored and its implementation evaluated before the benefits of
JHT are brought back according to the mandate of the law and its philosophy, Putri said.

The JHT is a long-term social security program that has been designed as a safety net for workers
who are retiring, workers who cannot return to work due to permanent total disability before
retirement, or workers who have died, she informed.

Meanwhile, the JKP Program aims to serve as a short-term safety net, she added.
