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

Last updated on Nov 26, 2025

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.
