To get additional workers, employers need to submit another application to the Ministry of Human Resources (KSM) or appeal to the Ministry of Home Affairs for a review, according to him.
He noted that if the quota system is not applied and recruitment could be carried out freely, foreign workers would simply enter the country without adhering to the conditions and criteria set, resulting in various welfare problems.
Previously, employers had to deal through the Home Ministry on the employment of foreign workers but currently, all such matters can be made through the KSM to ensure uniformity in policies and procedures for the recruitment./.
