Ministry of Labour Regulation 15/2026 Issued: Labour Inspectors Granted Clearer Authority
The Ministry of Labour (Kemnaker) is optimizing the planning of labour inspections by strengthening institutional frameworks, enhancing the competence and geographical distribution of inspectors, improving inspection methodologies through legislative amendments, and bolstering inspection reporting procedures.
This initiative is designed to ensure the proper implementation of labour, occupational health, and safety (OHS) standards, as well as compliance with workers’ rights.
Anwar Sanusi, Head of the Agency for Labour Planning and Development, stated that these strengthened inspection methods are being implemented via Ministry of Labour Regulation 15/2026 (Permenaker), which amends Ministry of Labour Regulation 11/2026 regarding labour inspection procedures.
According to Anwar, this amendment clarifies the authority of inspectors to monitor and verify compliance with labour standards. Inspections encompass adherence to workers’ rights concerning minimum wages, overtime pay, and benefits related to workplace accidents and occupational diseases.
“From a planning perspective, strengthening oversight must be supported by assessing the needs and distribution of labor inspectors, based on the number of companies, the size of the workforce, and regional characteristics,” stated Anwar during a webinar titled “Supporting Worker Protection through the Optimization of Labor Inspection,” held in Jakarta on Thursday, October 29, 2026.
In addition to the deployment of labor inspectors, this oversight planning encompasses institutional strengthening, the enhancement of inspector competencies through targeted capacity-building, as well as budgetary support and coordination between central and regional authorities to ensure more effective supervision.
This planning also focuses on improving reporting by labor inspectors as part of the monitoring and evaluation of inspection activities, outreach efforts, and the follow-up on inspection findings.
Consequently, oversight is expected to become more focused, effectively supporting compliance with labor standards and the implementation of occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations.
Anwar added that the involvement of various stakeholders is key to the effectiveness of labor inspection. The government, labor inspectors, employers, and workers must collaborate to identify implementation challenges and formulate corrective measures tailored to local conditions.
Input from these stakeholders can also serve as a basis for evaluation when developing more targeted oversight programs.
Through strategic planning and robust coordination, it is hoped that oversight will further bolster compliance with labor standards and the implementation of occupational health and safety regulations.
“Let us use this webinar as a platform for dialogue to clarify the steps necessary to strengthen oversight in addressing the challenges surrounding the implementation of labor and occupational health and safety (OHS) standards,” stated Anwar. ***rel

Permenaker 15/2026 Terbit: Pengawas Ketenagakerjaan Kini Punya Kewenangan Lebih Jelas
Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan (Kemnaker) optimalisasi perencanaan pengawasan ketenagakerjaan melalui penguatan kelembagaan, peningkatan kompetensi dan distribusi pengawas, penguatan metode pengawasan melalui pembaruan regulasi, serta penguatan pelaporan pengawasan.
Langkah ini dilakukan untuk memastikan penerapan norma ketenagakerjaan dan keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) berjalan dengan baik serta hak-hak pekerja terpenuhi.
Kepala Badan Perencanaan dan Pengembangan Ketenagakerjaan, Anwar Sanusi, mengatakan penguatan metode pengawasan dilakukan melalui Peraturan Menteri Ketenagakerjaan (Permenaker) nomor 15 tahun 2026 tentang Perubahan atas Permenaker nomor 11 tahun 2026 tentang Tata Cara Pengawasan Ketenagakerjaan.
Menurut Anwar, perubahan tersebut memperjelas kewenangan pengawas dalam memeriksa dan menguji penerapan norma ketenagakerjaan. Pemeriksaan mencakup pemenuhan hak pekerja atas upah minimum, upah lembur, serta manfaat jaminan kecelakaan kerja dan penyakit akibat kerja.
“Dari sisi perencanaan, penguatan pengawasan perlu didukung pemetaan kebutuhan dan distribusi pengawas berdasarkan jumlah perusahaan, pekerja, serta karakteristik wilayah,” kata Anwar dalam webinar bertajuk “Menunjang Pelindungan Pekerja melalui Optimalisasi Pengawasan Ketenagakerjaan” di Jakarta, Kamis, 29 Oktober 2026.
Selain distribusi pengawas, perencanaan pengawasan juga mencakup penguatan kelembagaan, peningkatan kompetensi pengawas melalui pengembangan kapasitas yang sesuai kebutuhan, serta dukungan anggaran dan koordinasi antara pemerintah pusat dan daerah agar pelaksanaan pengawasan berjalan lebih efektif.
Perencanaan tersebut juga diarahkan pada penguatan pelaporan pengawasan sebagai bagian dari pemantauan dan evaluasi pelaksanaan pemeriksaan, sosialisasi, serta tindak lanjut hasil pengawasan.
Dengan demikian, pelaksanaan pengawasan diharapkan semakin tepat sasaran dalam mendukung kepatuhan terhadap norma ketenagakerjaan dan penerapan K3.
Anwar menambahkan, keterlibatan berbagai pihak turut menentukan efektivitas pengawasan ketenagakerjaan. Pemerintah, pengawas, pengusaha, dan pekerja perlu berkolaborasi untuk mengidentifikasi kendala pelaksanaan serta merumuskan langkah perbaikan yang sesuai dengan kondisi di lapangan.
Masukan dari para pemangku kepentingan tersebut juga dapat menjadi bahan evaluasi dalam menyusun program pengawasan yang lebih tepat sasaran.
Melalui perencanaan yang terarah dan koordinasi yang baik, pelaksanaan pengawasan diharapkan semakin mendukung kepatuhan terhadap norma ketenagakerjaan dan penerapan K3.
“Mari kita manfaatkan webinar ini sebagai ruang dialog untuk memperjelas langkah memperkuat tata kelola pengawasan dalam mengatasi tantangan penerapan norma ketenagakerjaan dan K3,” sebut Anwar. ***rel
