Why the wage table matters

The wage table is more than a list of numbers. It affects the payroll floor, headcount planning, and operating-location comparisons.

How to use it

  • pick the operating province
  • use the wage floor as a floor, not a final salary
  • add BPJS and benefits
  • model a realistic team structure

When to re-check

Recheck the data when the annual update cycle starts or when the business changes operating province.
