BPJS Ketenagakerjaan is a mandatory social security program for workers in Indonesia, administered by the government in accordance with Law on the National Social Security System (SJSN).
The program is designed to protect workers from financial risks related to workplace accidents, death, old age, and retirement. All employers operating in Indonesia, including foreign companies (PT PMA), representative offices, and local entities, are legally required to register their employees with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan. This obligation applies to Indonesian citizens and foreign employees who hold valid work permits.
For foreign investors and executives, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan is more than compliance it is a foundation for sustainable operations. Companies that fail to comply may face administrative sanctions, operational restrictions, or reputational risks that hinder business expansion.
