How Different are PEOs and EORs?

When you want to learn more about how a PEO can benefit your company, it’s likely you’ll see them often compared to Employer Of Records. While both operate in largely the same way, there are some differences between the services.  

  • A PEO typically provides HR services like payroll, tax calculation, and compliance checks to employees of another company  
  • A PEO makes an agreement with the employee’s original country to provide these services 
  • An EOR typically hires the staff member in a fully legal and official way while providing the services of a PEO 
  • An EOR makes a contract directly with the employee on behalf of their company

Employment Contracts in Indonesia

Indonesian law allows for contracts to be made for either a definite or indefinite term, based on requirements and consent by both parties. 

Fixed-term contracts are often more highly scrutinized and are required to be written. They can last for up to 2 years; however, if renewed and extended can be made to last for as many as 5 years.  

A probation period for an indefinite contract in Indonesia can include a probation period of up to 3 months.

Working Hours and Overtime in Indonesia

Typically, overtime pay starts at 1.5x the standard salary rate. Additional rates also apply if an employee is asked to work on a holiday or rest day.  

Holidays and Annual leave in Indonesia

Employees in Indonesia are entitled to 15 days of public holidays per year due to the multi-ethnic and multi-religious nature of the country. Many of these holidays are based on a lunar calendar, and employers are expected to arrange additional days off if these holidays fall on a weekend.  

Employees of an Indonesian company for over 1 year are entitled to a minimum of 12 days of annual leave, at least 6 days of which must be taken in one continuous block.  

Sick Leave in Indonesia

Maternity and Paternity Leave in Indonesia

Mothers in Indonesia are entitled to 1.5 months paid maternity leave before birth and 1.5 months of paid leave after delivery.  

Fathers are entitled to 2 days of paid paternity leave.

Tax Law in Indonesia

Indonesia reformed its tax regulations in 2021 with the HPP (Harmonization of Tax Regulations Law), yet further changes may occur in the near future.  

Corporate tax in Indonesia is typically around 22%, with some exceptions for the company’s size.  

Individual tax on all salary earned in Indonesia is applied to anyone who lives in Indonesia for over 183 days during a fiscal year. 

Employers are expected to withhold wages for employees and arrange for their taxes to be paid.  

Currently, individual tax rates are based on a progressive scale of:

  • 5% for up to IDR 50 million      
  • 15% for IDR 50 million to IDR 250 million      
  • 25% for IDR 250 million to IDR 500 million    
  • 30% for IDR 500 million to IDR 5 billion 
  • 35% for over IDR 5 billion
