"Bengkulu 2020 UMP, Bengkulu Province Wage Council has been set, amounting to Rp 2,213,000 / month, and has been submitted to the Governor of Bengkulu, Rohidin Mersyah to endorse it," said the Head of the Bengkulu Province Manpower and Transmigration Office, Sudoto, in Bengkulu , Thursday (10/31/2019).
He said the determination of the Bengkulu 2020 UMP amounting to Rp 2,213,000 / month was based on a joint calculation with the Bengkulu Provincial Wage Board and other relevant agencies in this area.
"The amount of the 2020 UMP will be submitted to the Governor of Bengkulu, Rohidin Mersyah, because according to the request of the central government no later than November 1, the 2020 UMP can be reported and announced to the public," he said.
Sudoto said that the establishment of the Bengkulu 2020 UMP of Rp.2,230,000 or an increase of 8.51 percent from 2019, besides referring to the central government's decision on the 2020 UMP, also considered national inflation of 3.30 percent and economic growth of 5.05 percent, so it was decided next year's UMP Bengkulu is Rp 2,213,000 / month.
If the UMP 2020, has been signed by the Governor of Bengkulu, Rohidin Mersyah, then this UMP must be carried out by employers in this area without exception in paying the salaries or wages of their workers.
"All companies in Bengkulu, are required to apply the UMP 2020 in paying their employees 'salary. For companies that do not pay their employees' salaries in accordance with the UMP 2020, they can be subject to criminal sanctions except for those who raise objections to the Bengkulu Manpower Office," he said.
Meanwhile, a member of the Bengkulu Province Wage Board, Aizan Dahlan said, the UMP increase of 8.51 percent does not only apply to Bengkulu Province, but the same thing also applies nationally.
"The increase in the National Minimum Wage by 8.51 percent is based on the comparison between inflation, which is around 3.39 percent and national economic growth at 5.12 percent.
In addition, the magnitude of the 2020 UMP increase of 8.51 percent was based on a decent living needs survey (KHL) conducted by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS).
Although the Bengkulu 2020 UMP has increased by 8.51 percent, it still does not change the position of Bengkulu Province from the rank of the province with the lowest wage on the island of Sumatra. Because, on the island of Sumatra only Bengkulu, UMP is still below Rp 2.5 million / month.
The Bengkulu UMP value, he said, is quite far adrift when compared to the UMP in neighboring provinces, such as Lampung Province, Jambi Province, and South Sumatra Province, with an average amount of over Rp 2.5 million / month.
Aizan added, in the Bengkulu 2020 UMP meeting, his party proposed a 10 percent increase in the UMP from 2019, but it was agreed that the 2020 UMP increase would refer to the national increase of 8.51 percent.
However, the Bengkulu Province Wage Board, remains optimistic that the amount of the Bengkulu 2021 UMP is already at Rp 2.5 million / month, so it is not far from the UMP of the neighboring province.
This belief is because BPS will again conduct a decent living survey to determine the provincial UMP amount in 2021. In addition, the ability of Bengkulu entrepreneurs to pay a UMP 2021 of Rp 2.5 million / month is more ready than now, he said.
With the stipulation of the Bengkulu 2020 UMP, it is expected that it can be used as a reference for regency and city business boards in Bengkulu, in setting the 2020 UMK in their respective regions.
"For regencies or cities that have wage management boards, such as in North Bengkulu, Central Bengkulu and Bengkulu City, in determining the amount of UMK, the UMP 2020 must be calculated and the wage amount should not be below the UMP," he said
