Viralterkini.idJakarta – Minister of Manpower Yassierli emphasized that the government will not tolerate companies that try to avoid the obligation to pay Holiday Allowances (THR) in 2026. This firm stance was taken following reports of thousands of workers who had not received their rights ahead of the holidays.
Data from the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSPI) reveals worrying conditions, where more than 25 thousand workers reportedly have not received THR even though the payment time is approaching religious holidays.
5 Percent Fine and Obligation to Still Pay
The Minister of Manpower emphasized that companies found to be in violation are not only required to pay THR, but will also be subject to a fine of 5 percent of the total THR value that should be paid.
“The fine does not eliminate the basic obligation. The company still has to pay THR plus the fine,” stressed Yassierli in Jakarta, Tuesday (17/3/2026).
In other words, companies cannot use fines as a substitute for primary obligations. THR payments must still be made in full to workers.
Gradual Sanctions up to Business License Suspension
The government, through the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker), has also prepared a multi-layered sanctions scheme for companies that are stubborn.
The sanctions stages include:
Written warning
Restrictions on business activities
Temporary suspension of operations
Up to the suspension of business permits
The latest sanctions are considered the most stringent steps that can have a direct impact on the company’s business continuity.
THR must be paid in full, cannot be paid in installments
Yassierli again emphasized that this year’s THR payment must be made in full and cannot be paid in installments under any circumstances. This policy aims to protect workers’ rights so they can meet their needs ahead of the holidays.
“We ensure that there is no installment scheme. THR must be paid in full according to the provisions,” he said.
Government Tightens Supervision
The Ministry of Manpower has also increased supervision of companies, including opening a complaints post for workers who have not received THR. This step is expected to speed up the handling of reports and ensure that workers’ rights are fulfilled on time.
The case of unpaid THR to tens of thousands of workers is a serious concern for the government. Apart from having an impact on workers’ welfare, this also has the potential to trigger employment turmoil if it is not handled immediately.
By enforcing strict regulations, the government hopes that all companies will comply with THR payment obligations and maintain conducive industrial relations ahead of the holiday celebrations. (ma)
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
