Summary

Introduction

Companies are maximizing their effort to be able to compete in an increasingly competitive business competition. Many organizations believed that employees are assets that can increase efficiency and effectivity (Dessler & Tan, 2009). The company's attention should focus on the product or service produced, but the company must pay attention to the aspects of employees because it is believed that by focusing on employees, will bring many positive benefits for the company's growth. One way that companies can prioritize employees and care for employees is by following regulations set by the government, such as the amount of salary paid, in addition to adding some other benefits to making employees feel comfortable in the workplace. The Surabaya government has completed regulations on regional minimum wages, there are still many companies that do not follow these regulations (Hakim, 2009)
