SOCIAL SECURITY OF MANPOWER AND HEALTH (BPJS) IN INDONESIA
Utilizing BPJS services not only ensures compliance with regulations but also promotes employee welfare, cost-efficiency, and social responsibility, ultimately benefiting both companies and their employees.
In Indonesia, compliance with the BPJS (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial, or Social Security Administering Body) is mandatory for companies to ensure the welfare and social security of their employees.
Social Security of Manpower and Health (BPJS) in Indonesia is divided into:
BPJS Healthcare
BPJS Kesehatan provides affordable healthcare coverage for Indonesians, including consultations, medications, hospitalization, and surgeries, through monthly premiums contributed by employees, employers, and government subsidies.
PJS Manpower/Workforce
BPJS Ketenagakerjaan offers social security benefits to Indonesian workers, covering work-related accidents, disability, pension, and death benefits for their families, with contributions from both employees and employers.
BPJS Compliance in Indonesia
1. | Registration: Companies are required to register their employees with the relevant BPJS programs, including BPJS Kesehatan (health insurance) and BPJS Ketenagakerjaan (workforce social security). Registration typically occurs shortly after hiring new employees, and companies must provide accurate information about their employees to the BPJS. |
2. | Contributions: Employers are responsible for making contributions to both BPJS Kesehatan and BPJS Ketenagakerjaan on behalf of their employees. Contributions are calculated based on the employee’s salary and are subject to specific rates set by the government. Employers are typically required to deduct the employee’s portion of the contribution from their salary and contribute the employer’s portion separately. |
3. | Reporting: Companies must regularly report their employees’ data, including changes in employment status, salaries, and other relevant information, to the BPJS. Accurate and timely reporting ensures that employees receive the benefits they are entitled to under the BPJS programs. |
4. | Compliance with Regulations: Employers must comply with all regulations and guidelines set forth by the government and the BPJS regarding social security contributions and benefits. Non-compliance can result in penalties, fines, or legal consequences for the company. |
5. | Employee Rights: Companies must inform their employees about their rights and entitlements under the BPJS programs, including healthcare coverage, disability benefits, pension plans, and other social security benefits. Employees should be provided with relevant information and documentation regarding their BPJS coverage. |
6. | Audits and Inspections: The government and the BPJS may conduct audits or inspections of companies to ensure compliance with social security regulations. Companies must maintain accurate records and documentation related to BPJS contributions and employee data to facilitate these audits and inspections. |
7. | Consultation and Assistance: Companies can seek consultation and assistance from the BPJS or professional advisors to ensure compliance with social security regulations and address any questions or concerns they may have regarding BPJS programs. |
Overall, compliance with the BPJS is essential for companies in Indonesia to fulfill their legal obligations, protect their employees' welfare, and avoid potential penalties or legal consequences. It is crucial for companies to stay informed about changes in regulations and guidelines related to social security and to maintain accurate records and documentation to demonstrate compliance with BPJS requirements.
