Common issues at foreign-owned companies
What we most often see when a PT PMA grows past its first few hires.
- Fixed-term contracts (PKWT) used for permanent roles, or extended beyond the legal limit
- Employees not enrolled in BPJS from day one, or contributions calculated on the wrong salary base
- No ratified Company Regulations once headcount passes 10, or regulations that expired after 2 years
- Management signing Indonesian documents they cannot read
AI can write a draft. We make sure it is right.
A company regulation or employment contract template can now be generated in five minutes. What AI cannot do:
Fit it to your company
Working hours, structure, habits and risks that only come up when we talk to you.
See it through
Discussing with employee representatives, answering the reviewer's notes, until the document is ratified.
Follow the latest rules
Indonesian labour regulations change. We work with them every day rather than guessing from old data.
Take responsibility
There is a person you can call, who answers for the work.
Three ways to handle HR
The options most companies weigh once they pass 10 employees.
| Hire an HR officer | Do it yourself | HCD HR Partner | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | A full-time salary plus BPJS and THR | No direct cost, but it takes the founder's or finance team's time | From IDR 1.5 million per month |
| Experience | For small companies, usually junior | Learning on the job | 11-year practitioner, BNSP-certified |
| Risk of getting rules wrong | Medium | High | Low, with a monthly report |
| Time to start | 1–2 months of recruiting | Immediately | Within days of signing |
The HCD 4-step method
Every engagement follows the same order, from the first conversation until your team can run it on its own.
Check
A free 30-minute consultation, then a review of your HR: what is compliant and what is at risk.
Fix
A fixed-price proposal, then the work itself with a progress update every week.
Hand over
Documents and systems become yours, with a walkthrough session for your team.
Support
Free compliance reminders after the project (WLKP, THR, regulation expiry), or continue with the Monthly HR Partner.
What our work looks like
Every HR Compliance Check ends with a report like this: the rules reviewed, findings, risk levels and the order of fixes.
This sample uses fictional data. Client case studies will appear here once the First 5 Clients Programme is underway, with written permission and anonymised data.

A note from the founder
I handle your work personally.
I have spent 11 years in HR, IT and general affairs, and I still run an HR function every day. The pattern never changes: growing companies only think about HR once something has gone wrong.
I founded HCD Advisory to get the foundations right earlier, at a clear price, with documents your team can run on its own. I handle every engagement myself, from the first consultation to handover.

Monday to Friday 17.00–22.00 WIB, and weekends 08.00–17.00 WIB by appointment. Messages are answered within one working day.
Do you handle work permits for foreign staff (RPTKA, KITAS)?
No. We focus on HR compliance for your Indonesian workforce and can refer you to an immigration specialist.
Can documents be bilingual?
Yes. Contracts, company regulations and policies can be prepared in Bahasa Indonesia and English. The Indonesian version is the legally binding one.
Is our employee data safe?
Data is processed in line with Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law, and confidentiality is set out in an agreement signed before work starts.
