Convention (n° 81) sur l'inspection du travail, 1947 - Indonésie (Ratification: 2004)

Articles 1, 4, 10,11 and 16 of the Convention. Structure and coordination of the labour inspection system. Frequency of inspection visits. The Committee notes the Government’s indications regarding follow-up actions, based on inputs from the national coordination meeting of labour inspectors, aimed at addressing the challenges faced by labour inspectors in the regions. These actions include instructions to regional governments on the creation of functional positions for labour inspectors, conducting assessments of the IT–based performance index of the labour inspection institutions, and promoting cooperation with other government agencies, including through Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs). The Government also refers to the development of several labour inspection information systems which, as part of the strategic plan to improve the quality and effectiveness of the labour inspection system, aim to improve data collection and coordination at the central level. The Committee notes that one of these systems, called Norma 100, provides for a self-assessment tool for companies in relation to compliance with employment rules. The Committee requests further information on the features and application in practice of NORMA 100, in particular with regard to the process of self-assessment, including information on the number and size of companies utilizing the self-assessment tool and the results reported from their use. The Committee requests the Government to indicate how the application of this tool is monitored, and its effectiveness assessed, by the labour inspection system. It also requests the Government to provide further details on the implementation of the strategic plan for labour inspection, and its impact on the consistency and effectiveness of labour inspections across the country.

Article 5(b). Collaboration of the labour inspection with employers and workers and their organizations. The Committee notes the Government’s efforts, following the 2020 recommendations of the Labour Inspection Committee, aimed at reforming and strengthening the labour inspection system. The Committee also notes the Government’s indication that the Labour Inspection Committee consists of 19 members representing employers, trade unions and other stakeholders, that it meets at least once every three months, and that discussions have been held on its role as a coordination and communication platform for stakeholders. The Committee requests the Government to provide further details on the outcome of the deliberations of the national Labour Inspection Committee as regards collaboration between labour inspection with workers and employers and their organizations, and on measures taken to promote such collaboration in practice.

Article 6. Conditions of service of labour inspectors. The Committee notes the Government's indication that labour inspectors are civil servants, with salaries regulated by Government Regulation No. 5 of 2024 and remuneration levels detailed in Presidential Regulation No. 103 of 2021. The Government also indicates that, by way of comparison, labour inspectors receive higher allowances than police officers, but lower allowances than tax officers, while the retirement age for labour inspectors, at 65 years, is higher than that for police officers. The Committee notes that promotions for labour inspectors require passing competency tests. While noting the information provided, the Committee observes the absence of information on the implication of that status regarding employment tenure as well as information regarding the career structure of the inspectorate. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the extent to which labour inspectors are assured of stability of employment and how their employment tenurecompares in practice to that of other officials exercising functions of similar complexity and responsibility, such as tax collectors and the police. The Committee also requests the Government to provide details on the career structure of the labour inspectorate, including levels, positions and the number of appointments at each level. Further, in light of the information on allowances and retirement age provided, the Committee requests information on any ongoing discussions or considerations aimed at further improving any particular aspects of the conditions of work of labour inspectors, with a view to facilitating the recruitment and retention of well qualified personnel.

Article 7. Recruitment and training of labour inspectors. The Committee notes the Government’s information regarding the training provided to labour inspectors at both the national and provincial levels, including basic training sessions conducted in 2022 and 2023, which involved a total of 188 participants, and training to upgrade the competencies of 40 inspectors. The Committee further notes the role played by the Association of Labour Inspectors (APKI) in facilitating discussions on the code of ethics, database management, governance of personnel and labour norms. While welcoming the training initiatives undertaken at national and provincial levels, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the impact of training provided to labour inspectors in the context of the Government’s efforts to enhance the consistency and effectiveness of labour inspection.

Articles 18, 19, 20 and 21. Periodic and annual reports on the work of the labour inspection services. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that labour inspection reports are submitted by regional labour offices to the central government, covering various aspects of the inspection process, including the objects of inspection, the types of work accidents and occupational diseases detected, the types of violations identified and the follow-up actions prescribed. However, the information provided does not clarify whether an annual general report on the work of the inspection services is published by the Government, in line with Articles20 and 21 of the Convention. The Committee once again requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure the publication of an annual general report on labour inspection, in line with Article 20, which contains the information listed under Article 21 of the Convention. In light of the Government's information that no sanctions have been imposed for recorded violations, the Committee also requests the Government to indicate what other types of follow-up or corrective actions are initiated by labour inspectors in case of violations.
