How much should i pay for Villa manager of 8 rooms?
Hi my daughter has been working for a company in tabanan for 3 weeks going 40 hrs a week plus.
Now there saying if no sales no pay !
She has not signed any agreement with them but has worked hard in this time .

Your daughter can log a complaint with Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan (Ministry of Manpower). If your daughter is not Indonesian then she will need a work permit before considering logging a complaint with the Ministry of Manpower.
What is the standard yearly pay increase given per year by employers? I know there is no set standard by law but what is the average increase if any?
When there are several levels of salary, does one have to increase those salaries which are paid a much higher level than the basic wage by 8.51% ?
No, the basic salary is only for minimum wage. How much you increase the salary of staff is the choice if the employer.
Dr Herlinda Siaahan of Konderatu does not pay staff leaving many families in a constant state of poverty.
Hello, Is this considering 13 salarys? Thanks
Yes it is. You need to pay a 13th month salary to employees. This is called THR or “Tunjangan Hari Raya” or “Religious Holiday Allowance”. This is a 1 month salary bonus legally required by law and is to be paid on a major religious holiday. For Muslims this is for example at Idul Fitri (the end of Ramadan). For Balinese Hindu this will be paid at Galungan (there are 2 Galungan per year so you can either pay 50/50 or choose one Galungan per year to pay 100%). If an employee has worked less than 12 months then the THR is to be paid pro-rata.
How much do I pay my local staff for cleaning 3 hours per day 5 days per week
it is defend to the size of your heart, 😉
Are domestic, household ,gardeners and security classified under standard minimum wage if working for an individual .. In a villa.. Not a business.
Or are they considered casual labor with no government regulations
I believe house keepers are not included in above minimum rates.
