Who pays the DPKK fee — the employer or the employee?

The DPKK fee must always be paid by the employer, not the employee. This fee is part of the company’s obligation when hiring a foreign worker and is paid to the Ministry of Manpower to support the training of the Indonesian workforce.

The employer must pay:

• USD 100 per month,

• typically in advance for the full duration of the Work KITAS.

Foreign employees are not allowed to pay the DPKK themselves under Indonesian labor regulations.
