Tetap Bahagia Ketika

Pensiun Tiba
Usia senja dan pensiun bisa menjadi momok bagi seorang
pekerja. Persiapan dan rencana matang adalah jurus
menghindari nestapa masa tua itu.

Bagi sebagian orang, pensiun adalah “hadiah” setelah
puluhan tahun bekerja. Ini waktunya mereka bersantai,
bereksplorasi, bersenang-senang, dan melepaskan diri dari
tekanan pekerjaan. Namun bagi sebagian orang yang lain,
pensiun justru dianggap sebagai masa yang mencemaskan.

Punya cita-cita. Mulailah memikirkan apa yang ingin
Anda lakukan untuk mengisi masa pensiun. Misalnya

negeri tiap dua tahun sambil menulis jurnal perjalanan
untuk diterbitkan menjadi buku. Cita-cita akan membuat
Anda fokus dan mulai memikirkan langkah untuk

Libatkan keluarga, terutama pasangan. Dukungan

dari keluarga akan memudahkan proses dan membuat
persiapan pensiun sebagai tujuan bersama.
Berkegiatan di luar pekerjaan. Cobalah berbagai aktivitas

baru yang kemungkinan besar akan Anda sukai, atau tetap
tekuni hobi di akhir pekan atau di waktu luang. Akan sangat
bagus jika Anda menemukan keahlian lain di dalam diri
yang bisa digunakan agar tetap produktif selepas pensiun.
Jalin pertemanan. Jangan putus bersilaturahmi dengan

Pertemanan merupakan komponen penting untuk menjaga

Empat kompensasi yang didapat karyawan
ketika purnabakti tiba.
Idealnya, inisiatif menyiapkan pensiun muncul dari individu pekerja sendiri. Meski demikian, perusahaan juga merancang
sejumlah upaya persiapan finansial bagi karyawan ketika masa purnabakti tiba.
Di PT Vale, kebijakan persiapan finansial dilakukan oleh bagian kompensasi HR Process & Industrial Relations Management
Department. Menurut Manager of Compensation & Benefit I Wayan Gede Dewantara, ada empat komponen kompensasi yang
didapat karyawan PT Vale ketika pensiun. Berikut perinciannya:

L AP OR A N UTA MA
1. Manfaat Pensiun
Merupakan akumulasi dana yang tersimpan di program Dana Pensiun Lembaga Keuangan (DPLK) dengan program
bernama “Manfaat Pensiun”. Peserta DPLK adalah mereka yang telah menjadi karyawan tetap dan masa kerja lebih
dari tiga tahun. Untuk komposisi pembayaran program ini, iuran dibayarkan karyawan sebesar 2% dari gaji bulanan
dan 10% oleh perusahaan setiap bulannya.
Menurut Dewantara, sesuai ketentuan UU No. 11 Tahun 1992 (UU Dana Pensiun), peserta yang diterima setelah
bulan April 1992 dan memiliki total Manfaat Pensiun lebih dari Rp625 juta dapat mencairkan 20% dana yang ada,
sedangkan 80% sisanya diwajibkan untuk dibelikan anuitas di perusahaan asuransi jiwa yang memiliki produk
anuitas. ”Dengan membeli anuitas, karyawan pensiun seperti menerima gaji bulanan, karena setiap bulan ada dana
yang diterima terus-menerus sepanjang sisa hidupnya sampai dengan janda/duda dan anak dengan usia sekurang-
kurangnya 21 tahun,” ujar Dewantara.
Dengan kata lain, tambah Dewantara, anuitas ini untuk menjaga kesinambungan penghasilan seseorang pasca dia
tak lagi menerima gaji bulanan. Tambah Dewantara, anuitas bisa dibeli di perusahaan asuransi jiwa yang punya
produk itu, misalnya Asuransi Jiwa Bumiputera, Jiwasraya, dan sebagainya.
2. Saving Plan
Saving Plan merupakan kombinasi produk asuransi jiwa dan tabungan yang disiapkan PT Vale dan bekerja sama
dengan provider asuransi. Sejak tahun 2013, Saving Plan PT Vale dikelola oleh Jiwasraya.
Iuran Saving Plan dibayarkan oleh PT Vale dengan perincian 10% dari gaji per bulan untuk karyawan non staf dan 4%
untuk karyawan berstatus staf. Dari iuran ini, sebesar 0,7% dibayarkan sebagai premi asuransi jiwa dengan manfaat
sebesar 24 kali gaji ditambah uang tunai Rp10 juta, yang diberikan jika karyawan meninggal dunia.
3. Jaminan Hari Tua Jamsostek

Merupakan proteksi standar yang ditetapkan sesuai regulasi pemerintah kepada pelaku usaha yang memiliki pekerja.
Pertanggungan premi Jaminan Hari Tua sebesar 5,7%. Perusahaan membayar 3,7%, dan sisanya 2% dipotong dari gaji
bulanan karyawan.
4. Penghargaan Masa Kerja

Diberikan bagi karyawan yang memasuki pensiun normal pada usia 55 tahun. Perhitungannya bagi karyawan non
staf dan staf adalah (Masa Kerja/30) x (6 x Upah Pokok). Bagi karyawan staf senior akan mendapatkan perhitungan
(Masa Kerja/30) x (4 x Upah Pokok). Pensiunan juga akan mendapat cincin emas 10 gram untuk istri dan 5 gram untuk
suami, ditambah pakaian batik untuk suami dan istri. []

L AP OR A N UTA MA
Kami Sudah Memulainya,

Sekarang!
Masih bekerja dan punya pendapatan, mereka telah menyusun
rencana bila masa pensiun tiba. Inilah kisah mereka.
Anwar Laso’, Operation Process Controller

Saya banyak melihat dan mendengar cerita karyawan Vale yang memprihatinkan hidupnya ketika
pensiun. Akhirnya mereka memilih kembali bekerja melalui perusahaan kontraktor. Pilihan itu bukan
karena fisik mereka masih kuat, tapi karena tuntutan ekonomi.
Saya tidak ingin hal itu terjadi pada saya dan keluarga. Ketika pensiun nanti, saya ingin menikmati
hidup dengan bersantai bersama keluarga atau jalan-jalan, memiliki tempat tinggal yang baik, dan
anak-anak sudah mandiri. Bukan kembali bekerja.
Maka itu, saya dan istri sejak sekarang mulai mencicil kebutuhan masa tua tersebut. Mumpung kami
berdua masih sama-sama bekerja dan masa kerja saya masih 20 tahun lagi.
Persiapan kami berupa menabung dan membeli properti berupa tanah. Selain itu, membesarkan dan mendidik anak sejak sekarang dengan
baik agar kelak mereka mandiri. Ini menurut saya juga merupakan investasi. Tentu kami juga membekali mereka dengan proteksi berupa
asuransi pendidikan.
Saya juga pelan-pelan mulai mempelajari bagaimana menjalankan sebuah bisnis. Meski belum tahu mau buka usaha apa. Tapi setidaknya
bisa menambah referensi saya yang mungkin kelak berguna.
Asriani Amiruddin, Senior Coordinator External Relations Makassar

Pensiun itu butuh persiapan yang lama dan tidak mudah. Tapi persiapan ini juga bisa jadi
menyenangkan. Yang pertama saya lakukan adalah membicarakan target dengan suami. Misalnya,
kami sepakat di 10 tahun pertama pernikahan, kebutuhan utama seperti asuransi jiwa, dana darurat,
rumah, kendaraan, dan tabungan pendidikan anak-anak harus sudah terpenuhi.
Setelah semua itu terpenuhi, kami mulai fokus pada investasi hari tua. Untuk memulai investasi di
hari tua, saya rasa kita semua juga perlu memasang target. Kalau saya, targetnya pensiun saya bisa
hidup sejahtera. Bukan jadi kaya tapi sejahtera.
Saya beruntung sekali kenal pensiunan PT Vale yang mengajari berbagai cara berinvestasi. Saya
juga senang membaca artikel dari para perencana keuangan dan semakin tertarik untuk
mengembangkan aset. Awalnya saya membuka tabungan rencana dan deposito. Hal itu saya lakukan sebelum menjadi karyawan PT Vale.
Setelah banyak mendapat masukan dan membaca artikel, mulailah saya melirik obligasi negara ritel (ORI). Lumayan bagus tapi hasilnya
tidak seperti yang saya harapkan. Bagi saya, coba-coba itu tidak apa-apa, sebagai pembelajaran.

L AP O R AN UTAMA
Lalu saya beralih ke emas dan reksadana. Sedikit demi sedikit saya kumpulkan dan ternyata hasilnya bagus. Kenaikan harga emas selalu
di atas inflasi, jadi bagi saya ini investasi yang menarik. Beberapa tahun terakhir, saya dan suami ingin meningkatkan nilai investasi.
Maka kami mulai mencari tahu seputar properti. Ternyata investasi di bidang inilah yang paling menguntungkan untuk jangka panjang.
Mulailah kami mengembangkan aset properti. Ternyata investasi juga bikin kecanduan. Sekarang saya antusias sekali berinvestasi,
belanja belakangan. Setiap tahun, saya dan suami me-review aset dan merancang target untuk tahun berikutnya. Saya yakin, kalau punya
kemauan, semua orang bisa menabung dan berinvestasi. Pelan-pelan saja, sedikit demi sedikit. Tapi memang harus dimulai sejak dini dan
konsisten.
Saya membayangkan, di hari tua nanti saya hidup sejahtera di sebuah peternakan besar. Mungkin saya terinspirasi dari nenek saya di
kampung yang tetap awet muda dengan berkebun dan beternak. Menjadi peternak yang sejahtera, itu harapan saya.
Joni Rangan, Defense Security & Service

Meski pensiun saya 17 tahun lagi, saya mulai mempersiapkan diri dan belajar dari sekarang.
Ada tiga hal yang saya persiapkan: finansial, pola hidup, dan menjaga kesehatan. Untuk finansial,
saya hidup sesuai kemampuan. Tidak memaksakan harus punya ini-itu atau hidup bermewah-
mewah. Yang prioritas adalah kebutuhan utama terpenuhi. Saya berharap dari pola hidup dan cara
mengatur uang seperti ini, ketika pensiun nanti tidak terkaget-kaget dengan perubahan yang terjadi.
Yang saya tahu, orang yang pensiun banyak tidak siap karena perubahan pola hidup mereka. Dari
yang punya penghasilan dan hidup bermewah-mewah, menjadi tidak punya pendapatan, tapi
sulit mengerem keinginan. Maka itu, setiap akhir pekan saya juga selalu pergi berkebun atau
menggarap sawah saya. Ini penting untuk membiasakan diri ketika pensiun nanti tiba. Jadi
perubahannya tidak terlalu drastis dari karyawan lalu menjadi orang yang kerja di kebun. Selain
itu, saya sangat mengupayakan tabungan yang memadai untuk kebutuhan pendidikan anak-anak. Mereka juga saya bekali dengan
asuransi jiwa dan pendidikan.
Yati Surachman, Mining Department

Yang saya pikirkan ketika pensiun, sederhananya, hidup tanpa harus memikirkan makan apa
besok, bisa tidur tenang di rumah, dan menikmati hari-hari bersama keluarga. Maka itu saya
bersama suami mulai berusaha sedikit-sedikit sekarang. Menyisihkan 20 persen gaji kami per
bulan. Membeli tanah dan membekali diri kami dengan asuransi tambahan di luar yang di-cover
perusahaan.
Kami punya mimpi memiliki investasi yang cukup untuk masa depan. Saya optimistis mimpi itu
terwujud karena pasangan saya juga mendukung hal tersebut. Apalagi masa kerja saya sebelum
usia pensiun masih 26 tahun lagi.
Darius Tandiabang, Medical

Bagi saya, materi memang penting untuk persiapan pensiun atau masa tua saya nanti. Namun
menurut saya, materi bukanlah segalanya. Bagi saya, memberikan pelayanan kemanusiaan
merupakan kepuasan bagi saya saat ini dan ketika pensiun nanti. Saya yakin bila kita hidup dengan
benar, maka Tuhan akan mencukupkan rezeki kita.
Maka itu, modal yang saya cicil untuk masa tua sejak sekarang, lebih ke pengembangan diri,
memperbaiki kualitas diri termasuk pengetahuan. Sehingga hari-hari pensiun saya nanti dapat
saya isi dengan membantu dan pelayanan kemanusiaan. []

We Are The Preppers!

They still work, receive an income and are planning for their
retirement. These are their stories.
Anwar Laso’, Operation Process Controller

I have seen and heard stories of Vale employees who live a heartrending life after retiring. In the
end they choose to be reemployed by contractors. They come to the decision not because they are
physically fit but because of economic pressure.
I don’t want that to happen to me and my family. When I retire, I want to enjoy life by relaxing with
my family or traveling, owning a comfortable house and seeing my children become independent.
Not by going back to work.
That’s why my wife and I have already started setting aside installments for what we will need in our
old age, while we are both still working and while I have 20 years more of service.
Our preparation consists of building up our savings and buying property. We also raise and educate our children well so they will grow to
become self-sufficient I also consider this as an investment. Of course, we also protect them with education insurance.
Also, I have started learning about how to run a business, though I don’t know what kind of business to have. Nonetheless, it will be a
reference point that may prove useful in future.
Asriani Amiruddin, Senior Coordinator External Relations Makassar

Retiring requires long-term preparation that is not necessarily easy, but it can be fun. The first thing I
have done is to discuss my targets with my husband. For instance, we agreed that in the first 10 years
of our marriage, we would cover major necessities such as life insurance, emergency funds, housing,
vehicles and an education savings fund for the children.
After that, we would start focusing on investing for our old age. To do this, I think we should also set a
target. My personal target for retirement is to be able to live in comfort. Not to be rich, but
comfortable.
I have been fortunate to know PT Vale retirees who have taught me how to invest. I also enjoy
reading articles by financial planners and I am interested in asset development. I started by opening
a planned savings account and term deposit. I did this before I joined PT Vale. After getting lots of input and reading articles, I started looking
at Indonesian retail bonds (ORI). It was alright, but not as good as I had expected. I think experimenting like this is fine because it is a learning
experience.
Then I looked at gold and mutual funds. I started slowly accumulating funds, and the results were pleasing. Gold prices were always
increasing at a higher rate than inflation, so I saw that as an attractive investment. In the last few years, my husband and I decided to increase
the value of our investment, so we started looking at property. It turns out that investment in this field is the most profitable in the long run.
And so we decided to develop our property assets. I found that investing is addictive. Now I enthusiastically invest first and go shopping later.

COVER STORY
Each year, my husband and I review our assets and set a target for the following year. I’m sure that anyone can save and invest if they want to.
Just go slowly, do it a little bit at a time. But it’s true that you should start early and be consistent.
I am imagining that in my old age, I will live comfortably in a large farm. Maybe I’ve been inspired by my grandmother who lives in the
countryside and who has managed to look young through her gardening and farming activities. My hope is to one day become a farmer
living comfortably.
Joni Rangan, Defense Security & Service

Although I don’t retire for another 17 years, I have already started preparing and studying for it.
There are three things to prepare: finances, lifestyle and health. In terms of finances, I live within
my means; I won’t pressure myself into own this or that, or live extravagantly. My priority is to fulfill
my basic needs. I hope that by living and managing my money this way, the changes that will
come with retirement won’t come as such a shock.
From what I gather, many pensioners are not prepared for the change in lifestyle. From having
once earned a salary and lived extravagantly, they end up with no income and yet they cannot
resist their desires. That’s why every weekend I do some gardening or work in my rice field. This is
important so I’ll be used to it when I retire, and the change from being an employee to a being
a garden worker will not come as such a shock. I am also building up my savings for my children’s
education and provide them with education and life insurance.
Yati Surachman, Mining Department

When I retire I want, quite simply, to live a life without wondering what to eat tomorrow, being
able to sleep peacefully at home, and enjoy days with my family. That’s why my husband and I have
started preparing now. We set aside 20 percent of our salary each month, buy land and protect
ourselves with extra insurance outside what the company has covered.
Our dream is to have sufficient investments for the future. I am optimistic we can fulfill this dream
because my partner is also supportive of this. I still have 26 years of service before retiring.
Darius Tandiabang, Medical

I think it is important to prepare the material side of things for retirement, but I don’t think the
material aspect is everything. For me, providing humanitarian services is satisfying, and I hope to
continue doing so when I retire in future. I am sure that if we live righteously, God will provide.
For this reason, the assets I am slowly accumulating for retirement have more to do with self-
development and self-improvement; this applies also to knowledge. This way, I will be able to fill
my days in retirement by helping others and providing humanitarian services. []

The involvement of all departments is crucial to find a solution.
“What sets us apart from other companies who face the

same fate as us and rely heavily on market conditions?
What does the year 2013 means for our company?” These
rhetorical questions came from PT Vale President Director
Nico Kanter, who was one of three panelists speaking at a
Town Hall Meeting held in Ontaeluwu Building on 20 May.
The talk was attended by employees from level L1 and

Nico’s questions came after he had explained about the

Injury-free Jogging
Avoid injury through prevention exercises and planning.
Try the following tips.
Having an evening jog along the jogging track between the airport
and Salonsa is an activity done by many Sorowako residents. Adults,
children, locals and expatriates can often be seen on the track, trying
hard to work up a sweat. This is of course a positive activity.
Recent studies show that walking briskly and jogging for 2 to 4

hours a week can reduce the risk of coronary diseases and diabetes
by 50%. The Danish study involved 10,000 adults aged between 21
and 98.
This does not mean, however, that jogging is risk-free. If you are not
careful, or fail to apply correct jogging techniques, you might suffer
an injury. The following are some tips to reduce this risk.
