Company rule higher than THR minimum
Perusahaan kami kasih THR 2 kali gaji. Itu boleh?
The situation
Yes. The law sets a minimum. Contracts, company rules or agreements can give more, and then the higher amount applies.
The law
- Minister of Manpower Regulation 6/2016 on religious holiday allowance (THR): Workers with 1 month or more of service get THR; 12 months or more get 1 month's wage, less get a pro rata share; pay at least 7 days before the holiday
What it means for you
Keep the rule consistent and written to avoid disputes. The extra amount is also taxable. Example: 2 months' wage of IDR 8 million each gives THR of IDR 16 million, all of it subject to PPh 21 in that month.
What to do
- Write the policy in company rules.
- Apply it consistently.
- Include in PPh 21.
- Budget for it.
Promised THR becomes a binding entitlement.
