Minutes of the first mediation session between Rahmat Wibowo and AWS Indonesia, where his claim, in child-like handwriting, comes down to 7 working days versus 7 calendar days of notice

What this document is

The top part of a one-page Risalah Mediasi (mediation minutes) form, “Ke: I” (the first session), for Thursday, 6 August 2026. The first party, the applicant, is “Sdr. Rahmat Wibowo”; the second party, the respondent, is PT Amazon Web Services Indonesia. The subject of the dispute is “Hak” (rights). The form has a section for each party’s statement and one for the mediator’s opinion, each filled in by hand. It was posted on Rahmat Wibowo’s Instagram. The photo cuts off the right edge of the page and everything below the mediator’s opinion, including any agreement and signatures. The session was the one the South Jakarta manpower office summoned the parties to (doc-20260729-001).

What it says

• A. Statement of the first party (Rahmat): “Saya menganggap proses PHK tidak sah sesuai PP 35, yang meng[…] 7 hari kerja bukan 7 hari kalender, memohon penggantian 1,5 kali[…] sampai akhir masa probasi yang sah” (“I consider the dismissal process invalid under Government Regulation 35, which [requires] 7 working days, not 7 calendar days; I request compensation of 1.5 times […] until the end of the legitimate probation period”).
• B. Statement of the second party (AWS): the company ended the employee’s employment in line with the laws and regulations, the employment contract and the company regulations in force. It has also met all of the employee’s entitlements arising from the dismissal (salary and unused leave).
• C. Mediator’s opinion:
  • no agreement has been reached yet;
  • the company’s lawyers will coordinate with the company’s management about the worker’s demands.

Observations

1. The whole dispute is about a day or two of notice. Government Regulation 35/2021 requires a dismissal during probation to be notified 7 working days ahead. He was told on Thursday 14 September 2023 that his employment would end on 22 September (doc-20260908-001). That is eight calendar days, and six working days counting from the next day. He has been making the same 7-day point since May (ev-20260506-001).
2. Not what he demanded in writing. In his written demands for this forum he asked AWS to withdraw its lawyers’ letter and for every AWS Indonesia employee at AWS Summit Jakarta, held the same day, to apologise to him in public (doc-20260806-001). The statement recorded in the minutes asks only for pay. It does not mention an apology, his disability or the anonymous posts he later blamed on AWS.
3. The company’s answer. AWS says it followed the law, his contract and its regulations, and paid his salary and unused leave. Elsewhere it has stated that he was given verbal warnings many times during his five-week probation (doc-20260908-001).
4. What came next. The mediator recorded no agreement, and AWS’s lawyers were to consult the company’s management. After a second session on 13 August the mediator issued a recommendation he called harmful to him. A month later he asked the Jakarta police to pursue eleven criminal counts against AWS, its president director, a director and an HR staff member (doc-20260908-001).
5. Child-like handwriting. Each section is in a different hand, which suggests each party wrote its own. The company’s statement is in small, even print, and the mediator’s notes are in quick cursive. The first party’s statement is in large, uneven, child-like letters, from a man who presents himself as a “CEO” and the author of legal analyses running to dozens of pages.

Legal references were checked against published summaries, not official texts.
