Document background
A Consent Letter From Parents To Work is a mandatory document under Indonesian labor law when employing minors. This document is essential for compliance with Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower and related regulations governing child labor in Indonesia. The letter must be obtained before a minor can commence employment and should detail the nature of work, working hours, and conditions of employment. It serves multiple purposes: protecting the minor's interests, ensuring parental awareness and approval of the employment arrangement, and providing legal protection for the employer. The document is particularly relevant for employment situations involving workers aged 13-15 for light work, or 15-18 for regular work, subject to specific restrictions and protections under Indonesian law. This consent letter forms part of the employer's compliance documentation and may be required for labor inspections or audit purposes.
