Haiyani said this Permenaker provides room for certain export-oriented labor-intensive industrial companies, which are affected by changes in the global economy to make wage adjustments with the provision that the wages paid to workers/laborers are at least 75 percent of the wages received.
The wage adjustment policy does not apply as a basis for calculating contributions and payment of social security benefits, compensation for termination of employment and other employment rights in accordance with statutory provisions.
“Arrangements for adjusting working time and wages can only apply based on a joint agreement between employers and workers/labourers,” he said.
Director General Haiyani emphasized that labor inspectors must check whether companies that adjust working time and wages already have proof of agreement recording from the district/city Manpower Office or not.
“So when we carry out inspections and receive complaints, of course we have to see proof of registration from the district/city Manpower Office. If we don’t have proof of records, we are obliged to prohibit adjusting working time and wages,” he said.
