The Acting Governor of Central Java, Nana Sudjana, officially set the 2025 Regency/City Minimum Wage (UMK) for the region. This is stipulated in the Central Java Governor's Decree Number 561/45 Year 2024, enacted on December 18, 2024.
The UMK increase is based on the Minister of Manpower Regulation Number 16 Year 2024 concerning the Determination of the Minimum Wage for 2025. The 2025 UMK increase in the 35 regencies/cities throughout Central Java is 6.5%, with an average increase of Rp148,742.
Nana explained that the 2025 UMK only applies to workers with less than one year of service. This decision is effective from January 1, 2025.
"For workers or laborers who have worked for more than one year, their wages are based on the wage scale structure," said Nana, as quoted from the Central Java Provincial Government website, Wednesday (18/12/2024).
