@ Rahmat Wibowo mm aw (On June 3, 2026, | sat across the table from PT Nomnie Technologies Indonesia — formerly known as Liven — at the Dinas Tenaga Kerja Kabupaten Tangerang. The result: Buntu. Deadlock. Both parties signed. | came with four documented claims. | brought the law. (@ unpaid wages for 2 working days — because 7 calendar days # 7 hari kerja. PP No. 35/2021 Pasal 37(4) is unambiguous. @ Reclassification of termination as PHK — because probation does not create a third legal category outside PKWTT. PKWTT termination is PHK. Full stop.

The law does not care about your internal HR policy if it contradicts the statute. The dispute now moves to tripartite mediation at Disnaker Kota Tangerang. lam documenting this publicly — not to damage, but to inform. Workers in indonesian tech are hired quickly and terminated quietly. Most don't know what the law actually says. You have rights during probation. Notice requirements apply.
