Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Indonesia (Ratification: 1950)

In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to provide information on the implementation of Law No. 40 of 2004 on the National Social Security System and Law No. 24 of 2011 on the Social Security Provider. The Committee notes with interest that the Government refers in its report to the adoption of a number of Regulations by the Minister of Manpower in 2015. It notes in particular Regulation No. 16 on the Procedures of the Foreign Workers Employment which requires the employment of foreign workers to fulfil several requirements, including, among others, having proof of insurance policy from an Indonesian legal insurance company, as well as national social insurance membership for foreign workers who worked for more than six months. It also notes Regulation No. 44 which states that foreigners working in Indonesia for a minimum of 6 (six) months shall be participants of the social security program at the Employment Social Security Provider. Furthermore, Regulation No. 16 in conjunction with Regulation No. 35, article 36, paragraph (1), point (f), require foreign workers to join the Workers’ Insurance Programme. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the above provisions ensure that foreign workers who work in Indonesia as well as their dependants (families) are guaranteed to have the same rights as local workers.
