Country Insight
Mandatory benefits
Mandatory employee benefits in Indonesia include:
- JAMSOSTEK – Similar to Social Security for labor, this program typically provides benefits for death, accident at work/workers’ compensation, unemployment benefits, and a pension annuity plan.
- BPJS KESEHATAN – Similar to compulsory health/hospitalization benefits, this allows inpatient and outpatient care to clinics and hospitals. This plan is usually called a managed-care program, and most benefits provide no limits. Still, individuals should follow procedures such as first seeking care from a GP and not going directly to a specialist.
Supplementary employee benefits
Medical
For many private sectors, due to growing demands from Indonesian employees and the expanding obligations from Manpower regulations, companies must implement high-quality employee benefit plans that promote the attraction and retention of qualified and motivated staff. At the same time, managing the spiraling costs of those obligations is necessary.
Term Life and Accident Insurance
These benefits are commonplace across many employment sectors and are relatively inexpensive benefits to put in place.
