Kemnaker panggil 41 perusahaan yang menunggak BPJS Ketenagakerjaan

Manpower Ministry summons 41 companies that have overdue BPJS Employment contributions

Antara News | Local Language | News | Sept. 16, 2025 | Regulation

The Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) has summoned 41 companies in West Java for failing to meet their obligations under the BPJS Ketenagakerjaan program. This summons follows inspections conducted in March 2025 of 95 companies, which revealed violations including failure to register workers, underreporting wages, and arrears in contribution payments. Although some companies have paid Rp25 billion in arrears, this amount remains insufficient compared to their total obligations.

Kemnaker previously issued warning notices to these companies, but continued non-compliance prompted further requests for clarification between August 25 and 29, 2025. The ministry emphasized the importance of companies fulfilling their social security responsibilities as a form of accountability to workers and announced plans to intensify oversight nationwide.

BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s President Director, Pramudya Iriawan Buntoro, expressed support for Kemnaker’s enforcement actions, highlighting that compliance efforts require collaboration, such as through the Integrated Supervision (Waspadu) program. As of August 2025, Waspadu has been implemented in partnership with Kemnaker across 166 companies in eight provinces, aiming to protect workers’ rights, including those of foreign workers, who are entitled to social protection without exception.
