Document background
The Job Approval Letter is a crucial document in Indonesian employment practice, typically issued after successful job negotiations and before the commencement of employment. It serves multiple purposes: formalizing the employment offer, documenting agreed-upon terms and conditions, and meeting regulatory requirements under Indonesian labor law. The document should align with Law No. 13 of 2003 (Manpower Law), Law No. 11 of 2020 (Omnibus Law), and relevant ministerial regulations. It's commonly used when hiring new employees, promoting existing staff, or modifying employment terms. The Job Approval Letter must include mandatory elements such as position details, compensation, working hours, and social security benefits, while also incorporating company-specific policies and requirements. This document often serves as a prerequisite for employment contract preparation and various administrative processes, including work permit applications and social security registration.
