Kemnaker Records Four Provinces Yet To Establish UMP 2025

Saturday, 14 Dec 2024

The Ministry of Manpower will send a letter to the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding four regional heads who have yet to determine the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) for 2025. This letter will also be forwarded to President Prabowo Subianto today, Friday (December 13). The Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 16 of 2016 concerning the Minimum Wage for 2025 does not impose penalties on local governments that delay the issuance of the UMP for 2025. The regulation set the deadline for the publication of the UMP for 2025 as two days ago, on Wednesday (December 11). "We will issue a report letter from the Ministry of Manpower to the Ministry of Home Affairs, detailing which local governments have not reported their UMP," stated Indah Anggoro Putri, the Director General of Industrial Relations and Social Security at the Ministry of Manpower, during a press conference on Friday (December 13).

1. West Nusa Tenggara

2. Mountain Papua

3. South Papua

4. West Papua

Indah noted that the Regional Wage Council in these four areas has not reached a consensus regarding their respective UMP for 2025. She explained that the first stage of the UMP determination process within the Regional Wage Council involves the submission of recommendations from both workers and employers. Subsequently, the Regional Wage Council formulates recommendations that will be considered by the governor of the region in setting the UMP for 2025.

"Two of the four governors in these provinces have not been able to decide on the UMP for 2025 based on the recommendations received from the Regional Wage Council," she remarked. In addition to the disagreements, Indah found that there are Regional Wage Councils that have not provided any recommendations to the governor. The absence of recommendations is due to the lack of consensus between the workers' and employers' representatives. Indah noted that there are two Regional Wage Councils that have not issued any recommendations as of today, Friday (December 13). However, she did not specify which provinces these councils belong to.
