"We ask for cooperation from all regional administration heads to make sure that companies pay
the THR to all employees, as stipulated in the regulation. For employers who cannot make THR
payment, they are obliged to hold a dialogue (with their employees) and reach an agreement,"
Fauziyah disclosed during an online press conference here on Monday.

The agreement needs to be made through a bipartite dialogue with good intentions and kinship,
she said. Moreover, the dialogue summary has to be written and must entail the payment date,
she stressed.

The letter also requires the THR payment to be made no later than one day before the religious
holiday, she informed.

She added that the agreement must be made in accordance with the internal financial statement
of the company and ensure transparency.

"This agreement does not suspend the company's obligation to make the THR payment to its
workers according to the regulation. Then, it has to be reported to the manpower regional
administration office," Fauziyah pointed out.

She also assured that the ministry has formed a task force for consultation service and law
enforcement pertaining to the 2021 THR allotment.
