Labour Standards Audit

Our labour standards audits take into account the complexities involved in the varied aspects on how employees are treated in regards to wages, working hours and work conditions. These audits help ascertain as to how a business treats its employees and the environment and ensures that a business meets minimum stipulated labour standards.

Our auditors will meet with facility management and explain the purpose of the visit, collect necessary documentation and conduct an extensive tour of the facility to ensure that all health and safety precautions are adhered to.

Onsite interviews with employees are conducted to determine that they are treated fairly. Wage and attendance records are inspected thoroughly to ensure that no violations have occurred in relation to payment of minimum wages, work hours and that the hiring process is in line with the labour laws of the country.

Any labour standards violations or shortfalls are followed up with suitable corrective action before facility approval takes place.

IPS Lanka labor standards audit programs are based on the following code of conduct elements:
  • Compliance with the law of the land
  • Meeting at least minimum wages and benefits
  • Ensuring that maximum working hours are not exceeded
  • Zero tolerance for forced labour
  • Zero tolerance for child labour
  • At least minimum health and safety standards are met
  • Non-discrimination of workforce.
  • No corporal punishment has taken place
  • Freedom of association amongst employees is visible and present
  • That the facility operates in an anti‐corruption / anti‐bribery environment
  • That facility sub-contractors (if any) meet all above stipulated conditions

Yarn Dyeing: 
Yarn dyeing is a special type of dyeing process. This dyeing process is slightly difference from woven or knit dyeing. Dyed yarns are used for making stripe knit or woven fabrics or solid dyed yarn fabric or in sweater manufacturing. Yarn can dye in two form, package or hank form. Flowchart of yarn dyeing can be divided into three stages. Preparatory process, Dyeing and After-treatment process.

Dispatching

Unload Garment is a basic need of human being. It's manufacturing process is complicated. Garment/Apparel manufacturing processing depends on some steps and techniques. It starts from order receiving and will be end to dispatching shipment of the finished garments. A process flow chart helps to understand how raw materials are moved from one process to another process until raw materials are transformed into the desired product (garments).

IMTA

Apakah IMTA Diwajibkan Jika TKA Tidak Bekerja di Indonesia?
Yth. Bapak/Ibu, kami adala sebuah PMA di Jakarta, yang mana secara sehari-hari tidak ada TKA-nya, tetapi ada 2 orang TKA - Direksi - di Akta Pendirian (Singapore dan UK). Tetapi beliau-beliau ini hanya di dalam akta saja tidak terlibat dalam operasional kantor di Jakarta, dan tidak menerima gaji dari Jakarta, beliau berkedudukan di kantor pusat Singapore. Apakah ada kewajiban bahwa direksi ini harus memiliki IMTA? Terima kasih ya.
Jawaban :
Kami asumsikan bahwa PT PMA (penanaman modal asing) tersebut adalah badan hukum perseroan terbatas (“PT”) yang didirikan di Indonesia, berdasarkan hukum Indonesia, dan oleh karena itu, tunduk pada ketentuan hukum Indonesia terutama UU No. 40 Tahun 2007 tentang Perseroan Terbatas (“UUPT”).
 
Berdasarkan Pasal 8 jo. Pasal 15 ayat (1) UUPT, anggaran dasar PT memuat nama jabatan Direksi serta keterangan nama lengkap, tempat dan tanggal lahir, pekerjaan, tempat tinggal, dan kewarganegaraan Direksi. Apabila Direksi warga negara asing (“WNA”) tercantum namanya dalam akta pendirian PT serta anggaran dasar, maka secara formal hukum ia menjabat sebagai Direksi, meskipun ia tidak pernah hadir dan tidak menerima gaji. Kami asumsikan jabatan yang dipegang oleh WNA tersebut bukan merupakan jabatan yang dilarang untuk dipegang oleh orang asing (simak penjelasan soal ini di dalam artikel Jabatan-Jabatan yang Dapat Dipegang Oleh Orang Asing).
 
Menurut hemat kami, PT PMA yang bersangkutan tetap wajib mengurus Izin Mempekerjakan Tenaga Kerja Asing (“IMTA”) untuk kedua WNA yang tercatat sebagai Direksi di dalam Akta Pendirian PT PMA tersebut. Hal ini sebagaimana diatur di dalam Pasal 42 ayat (1) UU No. 13 Tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan, yang menyatakan bahwa setiap pemberi kerja yang memperkerjakan tenaga kerja asing ("TKA") wajib memiliki izin tertulis dari Menteri atau pejabat yang ditunjuk. Pengaturan lebih terperinci mengenai tata cara penggunaan TKA diatur di dalam Permenakertrans No. PER.02/MEN/III/2008 Tahun 2008 tentang Tata Cara Penggunaan Tenaga Kerja Asing (“Permenakertrans 02/2008”). 
 
Untuk bisa mendapatkan IMTA, perusahaan harus terlebih dahulu membuat Rencana Penggunaan Tenaga Kerja Asing (“RPTKA”) sebagaimana diatur Pasal 3 Permenakertrans 02/2008. Tata cara pengesahan RPTKA selanjutnya diatur dalam Pasal 5 ayat (1) dan (2) Permenakertrans 01/2008:
 
(1) Untuk mendapatkan pengesahan RPTKA sebagaimana dimaksud dalam Pasal 3 ayat (1), pemberi kerja TKA harus mengajukan permohonan secara tertulis yang dilengkapi alasan penggunaan TKA dengan melampirkan:
a.    formulir RPTKA yang sudah dilengkapi;
b.    surat ijin usaha dari instansi yang berwenang;
c.    akte pendirian sebagai badan hukum yang sudah disahkan oleh pejabat yang berwenang;
d.    keterangan domisili perusahaan dari pemerintah daerah setempat;
e.    bagan struktur organisasi perusahaan;
f.     surat penunjukan TKI sebagai pendamping TKA yang dipekerjakan;
g.    copy bukti wajib lapor ketenagakerjaan yang masih berlaku berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 1981 tentang Wajib Lapor Ketenagakerjaan di perusahaan; dan
h.    rekomendasi jabatan yang akan diduduki oleh TKA dari instansi tertentu apabila diperlukan.
 
(2) Formulir RPTKA sebagaimana dimaksud pada ayat (1) huruf a memuat:
a.    identitas pemberi kerja TKA;
b.    jabatan dan/atau kedudukan TKA dalam struktur bagan organisasi perusahaan yang bersangkutan;
c.    besarnya upah TKA yang akan dibayarkan;
d.    jumlah TKA;
e.    uraian jabatan dan persyaratan jabatan TKA;
f.     lokasi kerja;
g.    jangka waktu penggunaan TKA;
h.    penunjukan tenaga kerja warga negara Indonesia sebagai pendamping TKA yang dipekerjakan; dan
i.      rencana program pendidikan dan pelatihan tenaga kerja Indonesia.
 
Permohonan RPTKA disampaikan kepada Direktur Jenderal Pembinaan Penempatan Tenaga Kerja melalui Direktur Pengendalian Penggunaan Tenaga Kerja Asing (Pasal 8 Permenakertrans 02/2008). Kemudian, di dalam Pasal 42 Permenakertrans 02/2008 dinyatakan bahwa pengawasan terhadap perusahaan yang mempekerjakan tenaga kerja asing dilakukan oleh pegawai pengawas ketenagakerjaan sesuai peraturan perundang-undangan.
 
Jadi, dari uraian di atas dapat disimpulkan bahwa walaupun kedua Direksi WNA itu hanya tercatat namanya tapi (secara fisik) tidak bekerja di Indonesia atau menerima gaji dari perusahaan, perusahaan yang mempekerjakan TKA tersebut tetap harus mengurus IMTA untuk mereka. Hal ini karena secara formil keduanya, seperti Anda sebutkan, tercatat sebagai Direksi di dalam Akta Pendirian PT PMA yang bersangkutan.
 
Demikian jawaban dari kami, semoga bermanfaat.
 
Dasar hukum:
4.    Peraturan Menteri Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi Nomor PER.02/MEN/III/2008 Tahun 2008 tentang Tata Cara Penggunaan Tenaga Kerja Asing
