Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2024, published 113rd ILC session (2025)

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

Article 1 of the Convention. Equality of treatment between national and foreign workers. The Committee previously noted that foreigners working in Indonesia for a minimum of six months shall join the Workers’ Insurance Programme, which covers local workers. As regards short-term foreign workers, i.e. workers employed for less than six months, the Committee takes note of the Government’s indication in its report that, according to the Decree of the Director General of Manpower Placement and Employment Opportunities No. 3/144/PK.04/V/2022, employers must register short-term foreign workers in an insurance program covering at least work-related accidents with a company approved by the Financial Services Authority. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on whether short-term foreign workers and their dependants are granted the same treatment in respect of workmen’s compensation, particularly as regards qualifying conditions, types and rates of such compensation, as foreign workers employed for more than six months and local workers covered under the Workers’ Insurance Programme.
