    What is my employer not paying me and what can I do? THR, etc...

    Thanks for your input guys. @snpark I don't anticipate any issues with leaving the company. I've completed my contract after all. @Bad_azz Yes, that's probably the path I'll take. I'd just like to know my options and what to expect so that I can make an informed decision. I also want to know the...

    What is my employer not paying me and what can I do? THR, etc...

    So a little update... My employers got back to me finally. They denied all my requests, so if I were to stay on, it would be with the existing agreement. If I felt comfortable giving more specifics on this platform, you guys could easily see that people up the ladder are indeed (in BA's words)...

    What is my employer not paying me and what can I do? THR, etc...

    @Bad_azz and @HappyMan - Thanks for your input. I just wanted to get clear what is legally required so I could be informed and not say anything stupid or make unreasonable demands in negotiation, but I'm definitely asking for more. The other issue that I haven't mentioned is that around the...

    What is my employer not paying me and what can I do? THR, etc...

    Thanks for clarifying. Good thing I checked here. So it seems all of these are fairly standard in many contracts for expat teachers but not required. I checked my contract and it does say that the employee is responsible for 1% (not that the employer pays most of it like I originally stated)...

    What is my employer not paying me and what can I do? THR, etc...

    Thanks for the replies. I'm not too worried about BPJS actually since my employer does already pay for a private healthcare plan in addition to BPJS, and I've used both so they're both legit. I just wanna cover all my bases. @jstar What you said about THR seems in line with everything else I've...

    What is my employer not paying me and what can I do? THR, etc...

    I've been working for my company, a private school system, for a couple years and just now became aware that THR is very clearly required by law. I receive a monthly salary, all KITAS expenses paid, and private health insurance. That's it. I do not receive THR, end of contract bonus, any flight...

    Dispute with Tokopedia seller

    That's just a steaming pile of horse shit right there. This isn't just an Indonesian thing either, I'm well aware. I've had similar experiences in the US in which as the customer I was just expected to eat dirt. It really makes no sense to me. In your case, couldn't Shopee just cover it and then...

    Dispute with Tokopedia seller

    This individual product only had two (good) reviews, but the seller overall had good ratings. Agreed. That's exactly what this seller did after my glowing review.

    Dispute with Tokopedia seller

    To update, Tokopedia denied my complaint and paid out the seller. Because I didn't have a video of when I first opened the box. Sorry but I just think that's ridiculous. They'd rather protect the seller and make the customer pay for a busted product. So I've now filed a complaint with the...

    Dispute with Tokopedia seller

    Well, now I feel stupid.. lol. Not only is it cheaper for both the product AND shipping, but to add further insult to injury, their website has this disclaimer at the top: "IKEA advise everyone and customers to buy IKEA products from our website IKEA.co.id to avoid potential unwanted outcomes."...

    Dispute with Tokopedia seller

    Ok thanks, I've done that already and they've denied responsibility. We'll see what Tokopedia says after 3 days I guess. Great advice. I wish I'd done this. Hopefully the photos I included in the complaint will be enough. My fear is that Tokopedia will just say to take it up with the courier...

    Dispute with Tokopedia seller

    I've been mainly a lurker as of late, but I thought I'd share this to see if anyone has some helpful advice. I ordered an IKEA table on Tokopedia and it arrived damaged. It came in the original IKEA packaging inside another "box" (i.e. small pieces of cardboard taped together like a 5-year-old...

    Data registration for pre-paid phone SIM cards

    I finally registered. Went into Grapari/Telkomsel with my passport and KITAS. No issues, though I didn't receive any kuota bonus.. Maybe that ship has sailed. I just now checked with *363# and *888# (I forget which one was nagging me before) and there's no prompt anymore. I didn't have any...

    Immigration asking for your social media US

    We saw this coming a year ago, immediately following the inauguration. Remember this? https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/12/14583124/nasa-sidd-bikkannavar-detained-cbp-phone-search-trump-travel-ban

    Getting short changed in shops...again

    I don't notice this happening to me either. The only thing close is getting charged a couple thousand extra for some warung food (like 15rb instead of 13rb) which is a bule tax I've come to just accept. Really not a big deal to me. In a relatively cheap apartment building I used to live in, the...

    KITAS holder wants to sponsor friend's Sosbud

    All I've learned from this thread is that no visa requirements are adhered to or recognized universally. Can a foreign resident be a sponsor? Maybe. Do we now require a sponsor for a tourist visa? Depends on our mood.

    KITAS holder wants to sponsor friend's Sosbud

    Wow thanks for the update. I guess it depends on the specific consulate/embassy. Or maybe your mom was simply more charming than my stupid friend ;)

    JNE

    Lol.. Well I don't ship things on a regular basis, and my place is too small to keep a bunch of random packing supplies around. I was just wondering for when I do need to send something again in the future. Maybe I'll check what they have at the normal kantor pos.

    JNE

    Well that blows. I use JNE frequently when shopping online. The only problem I had was when a jar of honey arrived and had leaked all over everything. Kinda gross but no big deal.. But also the honey itself smelled horrible. I contacted the seller saying the product wasn't acceptable. They...
