Those doing so will be exposed to multiple penalties.The penalties include imprisonment and fines, as regulated in Article 81 point 63 of Law No. 11/2020 on Job Creation.See also: How to Negotiate Your Expected SalaryThe Article specifies that businesspeople paying wages lower than the minimum wage are subject to imprisonment for a minimum of 1 (one) year and a maximum of 4 (four) years or a fine for a minimum of Rp 100,000,000 (one hundred million rupiahs) and a maximum of Rp 400,000,000 (four hundred million rupiahs).On the other hand, most leading companies with good credibility have ensured that the new minimum wage implementation is well underway.This implementation is the companies’ commitment to maintaining professionalism and taking good care of their employees and partners.Instead of treating employees as mere workers to run the business, some companies regard their employees as assets and partners to accomplish goals and achieve more outstanding performance in the future.Search for Job Vacation at SERAThere may be a few companies with such philosophies and principles, one of them is PT Serasi Autoraya or better known as SERA.SERA was founded on March 22, 1990, and has become Indonesia's transportation and logistics industry leader.
