Muhaimin Iskandar, Minister of Manpower and Transmigration (Minister), reminded outsourcing companies to register their business activities at local manpower and transmigration offices. This is in accordance with the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Regulation No. 19 of 2012 on Requirements for Outsourcing (Regulation),
The Minister also encouraged local manpower and transmigration offices to update any records on the number of outsourcing companies and outsourced workers in their respective regions.
“Collecting data on outsourcing companies will ensure that the companies can guarantee workers’ work continuity and fulfillment of workers’ rights,” the Minister said at Yogyakarta, Wednesday (3/4).
Muhaimin asserted that stakeholders must also pay careful attention during the 12 months transitional period stipulated in the Regulation in order to prevent layoffs.
He further confirmed that his ministry will empower manpower and transmigration officials and monitoring committee to supervise the transition.
Timboel Siregar, Secretary General of All Indonesian Workers Organization, applauded the Minister’s efforts in enforcing the outsourcing legal framework.
Timboe, however, asserted that instead of simply reminding outsourcing businesses, the Minister should oblige them to register their business at local manpower and transmigration offices.
Further, Timboel argued that the Minister must also require companies that use outsourcing services to register the types of outsourced activities.
He explained that this would make it easier for the Minister to keep track of fulfillment of workers’ rights by the company.
Timboel concluded that if there are outsourcing companies that fail to register their businesses within the 12 months transition period, the Minister must have the courage to revoke the company’s business license.
