Five Criticisms of New Regulation on Recruitment of Foreign Workers Raised

  • A number of issues relating to the implementation of Regulation of the President No. 20 of 2018 on the Recruitment of Foreign Workers (“Regulation 20/2018”) were recently raised by Asri Wijayanti, the Dean of Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya.
  • The following five issues were specifically addressed by Ms. Wijayanti: 1) The integration of Foreign Worker Apps (“TKA Online”) into the Online Single Submission (“OSS”) system has yet to be fully realized; 2) The simultaneous use of Foreign-Worker Recruitment Plans (“RPTKA”) as Foreign-Worker Recruitment Permits (“IMTA”) is in violation of administrative law; 3) Sanctions cannot be imposed regarding the non-implementation of language training and education for foreign workers since this obligation does not constitute a prohibition; 4) Transfers of foreign employees through foreign investment schemes must be clearly defined, particularly in relation to any mandatory minimum skills; and 5) The current low level of law enforcement and sporadic imposition of sanctions for non-compliance as regards the recruitment of foreign workers must be addressed.
  • For more on Regulation 20/2018, see ILB No. 3341.
