Hello readers,

For as long as they have transported us and delivered food/goods, ride-hailing drivers have not received holiday bonuses (THR) that is ordinarily afforded to permanent employees.

Ride-hailing companies have long maintained that drivers are partners rather than employees, and thus are not entitled to THR. That is changing this year with President Prabowo urging the companies to look after the drivers’ bonuses. While they say they are complying, the bonuses will come with more than a few caveats.

More on that in today’s edition.

Cheers,

Andra
