New Guidelines on Mandatory Reporting
of Employment by Companies
LUBIS, SANTOSA & MARAMIS Law Firm
T
he Ministry of Employment (“MoE”) has issued Regulation
No. 18 of 2017 on Procedures for Mandatory Online
Reporting of Employment by Companies (“MoE Regulation
18/2017”) which is the implementation of Article 9 of Law
No. 7 of 1981 on the Mandatory Reporting of Employment by
Companies.
The MoE Regulation 18/2017 serves as guidelines which are
to be followed by companies in relation to the submission
of mandatory employment reports (“Reports”). Prior to the
issuance of the MoE Regulation 18/2017, these matters were
previously regulated under the MoE Regulation No. PER.14/
MEN/IV/2006 on Procedures for the Mandatory Reporting of
Employment by Companies (“MoE Regulation 14/2006”).
MoE Regulation 18/2017 generally addresses the following
matters:
1. Online Reporting
Businesses or company managers are required to submit
Reports online via the designated website (
.
kemnaker.go.id – “Website”) on an annual basis (“Annual
Reports”). With this MoE Regulation 18/2017, it is expected
that this mandatory reporting can facilitate the company that
will do the reporting.
2. Reporting Procedures
Prior to the submission of any Reports online, businesses or
managers are required to first undertake a registration process

via the Website to obtain an account. Once the relevant
registration process has been completed, then businesses or
managers may continue to the Report submission process.
MoE Regulation 18/2017 no longer incorporates any manual
submissions procedure. Thus, any businesses which have
submitted Reports manually will be required to re-submit
their Reports online via the Website within one year after this
regulation entering into force.
3. Utilization and Management of Data
With mandatory reporting of this online system, it is expected
that the data of employment in the region and the center will
be more integrated. Thus, it can be used for the progress of
employment control in Indonesia.
TheMoE Regulation 18/2017 has been in force since 6 November
2017 replacing the MoE Regulation 14/2006.
