The Indonesian Assembly of Labor Workers (MPBI) declared their objection against a business association that submitted a collective application for minimum wage payment delay for its members.
During a press conference at MPBI’s office, Monday (14/1), member of MPBI presidium Said Ikbal explained that although the DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation No. 189 of 2012 on 2013 Province Minimum Wage (2013 UMP Regulation) allows businesses to apply for a minimum wage payment delay, it does not stipulate any provision on collective application (See ILB No. 2043).
Ikbal informed that the business association has lobbied several ministries, including the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration, in an attempt to persuade them to immediately issue a minimum wage payment delay permit.
He further stated that the association urged the Government to revise the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Decree No. 231 of 2003 on Procedures for Minimum Wage Payment Delay because it does not favor businesses.
To ensure proper implementation of 2013 minimum wage and minimum wage payment delay, Ikbal said that MPBI has prepared an advocacy team to handle reports from labor unions regarding minimum wage payment.
MPBI is also planning a class action if the related ministries issue a minimum wage payment delay permit that is not in accordance with the laws and regulations.
Ikbal explained that according to Article 90 in conjunction with Article 185 of Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower, business owners that fail to pay the stipulated minimum wage are subject to “minimum one year imprisonment or four years at most.”
