RELIGIOUS FESTIVITY ALLOWANCE IS OBLIGATORY: MINISTER
Providing religious festivity allowance (THR) is an obligation employers must carry out to their
workers, Minister of Manpower Ida Fauziyah has said.

"I emphasize that the THR for workers must be paid no later than 7 days prior to the religious
holidays," Ida said during a virtual press conference here on Monday.

If companies are still affected by the covid-19 pandemic and consequently unable to provide this
year’s THR payment according to the time specified in the laws and regulations, governors and
regents/mayors are ordered to seek solutions by requiring employers to discuss the issue with
workers/laborers to reach an agreement amicably. As for the implementation, the THR payment
is made to workers who have a continuous service period of 1 month or more. THR is also given
to workers based on a work agreement for an unspecified period of time or a fixed-term work
agreement.
For workers with a continuous service period of 12 months or more, THR will be given equivalent
to one month’s salary. Meanwhile, for workers with one month service period continuously, but
less than 12 months, THR will be given proportionally according to the calculation of working
period divided by 12 months and multiplied by 1 month’s salary.
