In the Manpower Ministerial Circular No. M/6/HK.04/IV/2021 concerning the 2021 religious
holiday allowances for workers in companies, Ida asked regional heads to ensure that employers
pay the allowances based on the prevailing law or D-day minus seven of Eid al-Fitr.

Companies that are still affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and unable to pay THR in a specified
time are required to open a dialogue to reach an agreement with employees. They are also
obliged to make THR payments on D-day minus one of Eid al-Fitr at the latest.

Ida also asked governors, regents, and mayors to enforce the law according to their authority to
provide legal certainties and deal with issues. Regional heads must also pay attention to given
recommendations.

Governors are also urged to establish THR posts and report to the Manpower Ministry. To date,
Ida said 34 provinces have formed the posts.

"Once again, the government has given incentives. So it is hoped that employers comply with
the policy to pay the THR that will drive the economy and increase consumption," Ida said.
