Hello! Are you all excited for the upcoming Lebaran season? 😊 But every year around this time, there's one thing we worry about. That is, the THR (religious holiday allowance) and Infal (temporary replacement staff) costs for our hardworking house helpers (ART), babysitters (Babysitter), and drivers (Driver)!
Today, we'll have fun figuring out these two things. Shall we take a look together? 😆
🎁 1. THR (Religious Holiday Allowance) Calculation Method
THR (Tunjangan Hari Raya) is a legally mandated holiday bonus in Indonesia. Basically, employees who have worked for more than one year are entitled to one month's basic salary, and those who have worked less than one year are paid proportionally according to the number of months worked.
📌 Official THR Calculation Method
✅ For employees who have worked for more than one year → One month's salary will be paid 💰
✅ For employees who have worked less than one year → (Number of months worked ÷ 12) × Monthly salary
📍 Example) What if our ART (house helper) has worked for 6 months?
👉 (6 ÷ 12) × 4,000,000 IDR = 2,000,000 IDR 💵
⚠️ Bonuses are legally required, but if you want to express your gratitude further? Giving Lebaran gifts (cookies, new clothes, vouchers) in addition to cash can convey a warmer feeling! 🎀
🏡 2. What about Infal (Temporary Replacement Staff) Costs?
During Lebaran, employees go back to their hometowns, and I have to do all the housework, childcare, and driving! 😱 That's impossible! This is where Infal (temporary replacement staff) comes in.
Infal rates vary depending on market prices, but here are some general rates (Jakarta Slipi area).
ART (House Helper): IDR 200,000~400,000 per day
Babysitter: IDR 350,000~500,000 per day
Driver: IDR 350,000~600,000 per day
📍 Infal Hiring Tips!1️⃣ Check with your employees in advance about their Lebaran vacation plans and book replacement staff early!2️⃣ Find Infal through trusted agencies or referrals from acquaintances. (Interviews are a must!)3️⃣ Infal costs may increase during the Lebaran season, so budget accordingly! 💰
Recently, there have been more cases where employees who work in our homes choose not to go on Mudik (hometown visit) and request Infal costs instead. 🤔 In such cases, it is important to adjust the bonus amount for the working period according to each other's needs. By mutually agreeing on a compensation method, everyone can achieve a satisfactory outcome, right? 😊
🎊 3. Bonuses and Vacations! For a Happy Lebaran for Everyone 🎊
The Lebaran season is the most important time for our household staff to spend with their families. Show your appreciation for their hard work throughout the year and prepare THR and Infal well so they can rest comfortably! 💕
Let's make a warm atmosphere with small considerations so that everyone can have a happy Lebaran! Selamat Lebaran! 🕌✨
