The Manpower Ministry will keep the coordinating post for holiday allowance complaints open
until May 20, 2021. Employers who break the regulations pertaining to holiday allowance
fulfillment will face a penalty in accordance with the Government Regulation No.36 of 2021 on
wages.

The ministry said the issues brought up before the coordinating post this year mostly pertained
to holiday allowance being paid in installments by a company, only paid in half, not paid in full
due to salary deduction, not paid as per the one month salary requirement, or not paid in full
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Manpower Minister Ida Fauziyah has assured that she will validate and verify the data and
coordinate with related regional administrations to resolve the complaints. (INE) Related news:
