What legal requirements exist for employment in Indonesia
Employers must provide written employment contracts that outline the terms and conditions of employment, including job duties, working hours, salary, benefits, and termination conditions. Contracts should be in Indonesian. If a bilingual contract is used, the Indonesian version prevails in case of discrepancies.
Foreign employees must obtain a work permit (IMTA) and a limited stay visa (KITAS). Indonesian nationals aren’t required to have special permits but must be registered with the relevant authorities.
Employers must register employees for the National Social Security (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) program, which covers work accident insurance, old-age savings, pension benefits, and death benefits. They must also register employees for the National Health Insurance (BPJS Kesehatan) program.
Employers must comply with the provincial minimum wage standard and the standard working hours. The typical working hours are 40 hours per week, either as 7 hours per day for 6 days a week or 8 hours per day for 5 days a week.
Employers are responsible for withholding income tax (PPh 21) from employees' salaries and remitting it to the tax authorities. Employees must be registered for tax purposes and obtain a Tax Identification Number (NPWP).
Employers must comply with occupational health and safety regulations to ensure a safe working environment. They also must provide necessary safety training and equipment to employees.
