Apical is committed to ensuring that our employees’
salaries exceed the minimum wage requirements set
by local and provincial regulations. We conduct annual
reviews of our compensation packages to ensure
they are competitive and in line with the cost of
living, national labour regulations in the countries we
operate and the compensation levels of our industry
peers. Employees in Balikpapan, Dumai, Tanjung Balai,
Marunda and Padang are compensated with a decent
living wage, ensuring they can maintain a respectable
quality of life for themselves and their families.
Our aim is to maintain internal equity in compensation,
considering factors such as workload, responsibility
scope, job complexity and work level.

Performance evaluations at Apical are based on
a balance scorecard that includes metrics such as
quality, productivity, cost-effectiveness, adherence
to core values, sustainability efforts and contribution
to long-term growth. We uphold gender pay parity
across our operations. Differences in base pay among
employees are attributed to variables like educational
qualifications, skill sets, job nature and professional
experience.
