Additionally, job applicants may seek comprehensive insurance coverage as an extra-statutory benefit. Supplemental insurance is common, providing more extensive health coverage for employees and their dependents. Skilled employees often expect insurance coverage for themselves and three to four dependents, in addition to government-mandated contributions.

Compensation insurance ensures employees receive medical and financial assistance in case of workplace injuries or accidents.

Liability insurance is essential for businesses in Indonesia, protecting them from liabilities arising from damages to others or property.
