Indonesia Payroll Compliance Guide — Compliance Details

Employers hiring in Indonesia must comply with the Manpower Law under the Ministry of Manpower. Statutory employer contributions to the social security program (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) are approximately 4% for pensions and 0.24%-1.74% for other benefits. Payroll is processed monthly, with a strict 15th of the month deadline. A key risk is misclassifying permanent employees as contractors, bypassing mandatory benefits like the 13th-month bonus (THR).

Note: PayDD provides payment disbursement services in Indonesia. Employment compliance and local tax obligations remain the responsibility of the hiring company.
