Palembang, The Indonesia Post – Commission V of the South Sumatra Provincial Legislative Council (DPRD) (South Sumatra) will directly visit 35 companies that do not pay Eid al-Fitr Allowances (THR) this year to employees.
This was confirmed, Deputy Chairman of Commission V DPRD South Sumatra, Mgs Syaiful Padli.
“We will ask the Health Office for a list of companies that do not pay THR. We will visit the company,” said Syaiful Padli.
Not only checking the THR issue, his party will also check the company’s obligations regarding BPJS health and BPJS employment for employees.

“We ask for commitment from the company. We will go after the company because this is the right of the employee and is regulated by law,” said Syaiful.
According to him, if the company does not pay the THR, then the Manpower Office can give warning sanctions until the company closes.
