Eid to be the moment that workers have been waiting for, civil servants, TNI members and the Police.

The calculation of workers’ THR this year refers to the Circular of the Minister of Manpower Number M/2/HK.04.00/III/2023 concerning the Implementation of Allowances for Religious Holidays in 2023 for Workers/Labourers in Companies.

Referring to the regulation, THR is given to workers or laborers with a minimum working period of 1 month. The amount; for workers who have worked for 12 consecutive months or more, they are given THR equal to 1 month’s salary.

The Minister of Manpower, Ida Fauziyah, said in the letter that the THR must be paid by the company no later than 7 days before a religious holiday.

B. Civil servants, members of the Police, TNI and state officials
