The wages in Bali, which has a population of more than four million people, can be higher than in other parts of Indonesia.
Others, like four of the five young housekeepers who died in the elevator accident last week, are day laborers or contractors who work without a social safety net, sometimes for years.
In the Ayuterra Resort case, the government insurance agency decided to give all five workers insurance payouts of over $10,000.
Representatives for Ayuterra Resort, in the Ubud area of Bali, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
On Thursday, the online rate for a two-bedroom Ayuterra penthouse villa with a private pool in October was nearly $700.
