AB  - This study, examines the enforcement of the minimum wage in 
  Indonesia through criminal sanctions. The minimum wage is stipulated under the 
  Manpower Act 2003. Under the Act, employers are prohibited from paying wage 
  lower than the stipulated minimum wage. Employer who violates the minimum wage 
  will be subjected to criminal sanctions in prison and/or a fine. Since 2009, 
  there have been several district courts decisions imposing criminal sanctions 
  on employers who violate the minimum wage provision. One example was a 2008 
  court decision in the case of Sri Rejeki Mebelindo where in this case, the judges 
  sentenced the director to one and a half years imprisonment and a fine of 250 
  million rupiah for having paid wages lower than the stipulated minimum wage. 
  In addition, the study proposes that in enforcing the minimum wage through the 
  criminal sanctions, it is necessary to consider that the sanctions will not 
  be counter-productive to the company's business operations, especially when 
  the sanctions are imposed in the form of imprisonment not in the form of a fine.
