Employees need to follow certain regulations when they want to have a leave. However, every company has to give opportunities for its employees to take the following leaves with the obligation to keep paying their wages/salaries, based on the regulations.
The annual leave is taken for a total of 12 days. The company has the right to allow or postpone the employee’s ability to take the annual leave. The postponement can be done for a maximum of six months. Based on Indonesian law, there is not any certain regulation, which states the compensation that the employee might get if he/she does not take this annual leave. However, this issue can be put in the employment agreement. During the annual leave, the company has to pay the employees the number of wages or salaries agreed.
The maternity leave is given for the period of 3 months and is usually taken 1.5 months prior to the delivery and 1.5 months after the delivery. During maternity leave, the company must give the full wages to the employees. The length of the maternity leave can be extended if there is a recommendation from the doctor.
Should the employees take a leave due to sickness, it shouldn’t reduce the number of annual leave. The number of wages that should be paid when the employees leave because of sickness is as follow:
The terms of personal leaves are also regulated. There are some conditions in which employees’ personal leaves should be paid, including:
Companies must understand the very detailed regulations on the payroll system, especially foreign companies in Indonesia. Although overwhelming, having someone in your department who can manage the whole thing is very crucial.
