Implementation of the 2025 Minimum Wage Determination Policy in Purwakarta Regency

The 2025 minimum wage policy is a new chapter in wage policy in Indonesia. The 2025 wage policy was determined by the President in his press release on November 29, 2024. Through the Ministry of Manpower, the Minister of Manpower Regulation Number 16 of 2025 was stipulated. The minimum wage policy changed after the Constitutional Court Decision Number 168/PUU-XXI/2023 Concerning the Protection of Workers' Rights in the Job Creation Law on October 31, 2024. Research was conducted in Purwakarta Regency, which is one of the regencies in the West Java Province. The objective of this study was to examine how the Purwakarta Regency implements the wage determination policy using the Marilee S. Grindle implementation model. This model will show how the Purwakarta Regency implements the minimum wage of 2025. Document analysis serves as the primary source for this descriptive qualitative study, which is confirmed by interviews with employment sector stakeholders. The study's findings indicate that Purwakarta Regency's 2025 minimum wage determination process has entered a new phase by examining how policies are implemented through their contents and the policy environment when determining the district minimum wage and the district sectoral minimum wage. The researcher offers a proposal for setting the minimum wage in Purwakarta Regency going forward, taking into account the favorable industrial relations and working circumstances in the area.
