Direct Workforce Solutions in Indonesia
1. Employer of Record (EOR) & Co-Employment
When expanding into Indonesia, establishing a foreign direct investment entity (PT PMA) can take significant capital and setup time. Bestar enables business expansion by acting as the strategic HR and payroll partner, leveraging licensed local recruitment and employment frameworks (including P3MI authorization) to employ staff on your behalf:
Licensed Onboarding: Staff are legally recruited, hired, and contracted in full compliance with Indonesian Labor Law (Law No. 13/2003 and the Omnibus Law / Law No. 6/2023).
Track Record: Access a proven talent acquisition and employment backbone with over 5,000 workers placed since 2019.
Risk Mitigation: Shield your organization from local statutory liabilities, employment dispute risks, and direct severance miscalculations.
2. Comprehensive Local Payroll Management
Bestar manages month-end payroll execution to guarantee full compliance with Indonesian tax authorities and social security bodies:
PPh 21 Tax Calculations: Precise computation and filing of individual income tax withholding (PPh 21) based on the latest TER (Tarif Efektif Rata-Rata) formulas.
BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Integration: Mandatory contributions managed across JHT (Old Age Benefits), JP (Pension), JKK (Work Accident), and JKM (Death Benefits).
BPJS Kesehatan Administration: Complete healthcare coverage enrollment and statutory reporting.
TTHR (Tunjangan Hari Raya): Statutory religious holiday allowance processing, calculated and paid in strict accordance with Ministry of Manpower deadlines.
3. Work Visas, KITAS & Immigration Processing
Deploying foreign expatriates or technical leaders to Indonesia requires strict adherence to Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) rules:
Expatriate Utilization Plan (RPTKA): Drafting, submission, and securing of official RPTKA approvals.
Work KITAS (Index E23 / C312): End-to-end processing for temporary stay permits and work authorizations.
Dependant & Multiple-Entry Passes: Streamlined visa sponsorship for accompanying spouses, families, and executive management.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Bestar assist with hiring staff in Indonesia without a local entity?
Bestar manages complete HR, payroll, and employment pass administration. By utilizing fully licensed Indonesian manpower capabilities (including P3MI accreditation), we legally recruit, hire, and run local payroll for your personnel, allowing you to operate immediately without registering a local PT PMA.
What statutory contributions are required for payroll in Indonesia?
Employers in Indonesia must withhold PPh 21 income tax and contribute to BPJS Ketenagakerjaan (social security covering pensions, work accidents, and death benefits) and BPJS Kesehatan (health insurance). In addition, employers are legally required to disburse the annual TTHR (Religious Holiday Allowance).
How long does it take to deploy employees in Indonesia?
Local Indonesian talent can be onboarded and placed on payroll within days once employment agreements are finalized. Foreign expatriate work visas (KITAS) typically take 3 to 6 weeks, depending on RPTKA approval timelines.
