Additionally, in Indonesia ''Idul Fitri'' has a legally mandated salary bonus for all employees, known as ''Tunjangan Hari Raya'' (''THR'') as enforced by Indonesia's Department of Labour, Employment and Society ("Departemen Pengawasan Dinas Tenaga Kerja dan Sosial"). The mandated amount of this salary bonus differs by region. For example, within the [[Jakarta]] region the ''THR'' bonus must be at least [[Indonesian rupiah|Rp]] 1 million but not less than one month's full salary paid in advance of ''Idul Fitri'', in addition to the employee's regular salary. Thus, Idul Fitri is also a paid holiday. Breaching or withholding THR is a very serious labour law infraction and punished severely, regardless of employer status or position.
 
In [[Malaysia]], [[Singapore]], and [[Brunei]], Eid is more commonly known as ''Hari Raya Aidilfitri'', ''Hari Raya Idul Fitri'' or ''Hari Raya Puasa''. ''Hari Raya'', which literally means 'Celebration Day'.
