In an effort to optimize the supervision of the manpower sector, Muhaimin Iskandar, Minister of Manpower and Transmigration (Minister), stated that the supervision will be managed through the central government.
He expects that this will result in independent, integrated, and well-coordinated legal supervision and law enforcement within the manpower sector.
“A centralized system will create synergy of effective employment supervision at central and regional levels,” he said on Tuesday (9/4).
Muhaimin asserted that the current region-based system of manpower supervision established by Government Regulation No. 38 of 2007 on Distribution of Central, Provincial, and Regency/City Governmental Affairs (PP 38/2007) is weak and cannot be implemented effectively due to the limited number and unbalanced allocation of supervisors.
Based on the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration data, there are currently 2,384 manpower supervisors that handle around 216,547 businesses, which equals to 90 businesses per supervisor.
Out of 2,384 supervisors, 1,460 are general supervisors, 361 are specialized supervisors, and 563 are civil servant supervisors. This, according to Muliaman, is only enough to cover 300 out of 500 regencies/cities in Indonesia.
Ideally, he continued, a supervisor should handle no more than 60 businesses annually and to achieve that ratio, he informed that the Government will need another 3,700 supervisors.
Timboel Siregar, Secretary General of All Indonesian Workers Organization, applauded the Minister’s idea.
He confirmed that the implementation of a centralized employment supervision system has been voiced for a long time by labor unions.
Timboel also suggested that some of the regulations related to employment supervisors should be revised—such as PP 38/2007—in order to give the authority on supervisors’ development monitoring to the Minister.
Finally, both central and regional governments must allocate more funds in the State and Regional Budgets in order to improve and empower employment supervisors because many supervisors complained about the lack of operational funds, Timboel concluded.
