Additionally, the Labor Law Enforcement and Supervision Program for companies aims at 33,000 businesses with a total budget of Rp 6.18 trillion.

The SMK 3 Certification Program for companies targets 2,000 enterprises with a total funding of Rp 1.026 trillion.

The largest budget allocation goes to the Unemployment Insurance Contribution Assistance (JKP) program, reaching Rp 2.72 trillion.

Yassierli explained that the budget for the JKP Contribution Assistance program is the largest partly because it covers repayment of debts from previous years.

"There is a Rp 1.5 trillion debt, then Rp 1.2 trillion is allocated for 2027. So, this debt dates back three to four years ago and has always been carried over to subsequent years," he concluded.
