Analysis of The Implementation of The Job Creation Law on Legal Protection of The Labor

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to see how the implementation of the Job Creation Law impacts the legal protection of workers at PT Varia Usaha Beton Semarang. There are concerns that workers' rights will be less protected, especially in terms of work contracts, wages, and termination of employment (PHK), due to the many changes in the Job Creation Law. The background to this problem includes other problems faced by construction workers, such as uncertainty about their employment status and their rights after the Job Creation Law was enacted. This study uses a qualitative approach with a normative legal method. Interviews with permanent and outsourced employees and examination of documentation related to company policies were used to collect data. In addition, the study includes reviewing current regulations, including the Manpower Law and the Job Creation Law to understand how policy changes affect legal protection for workers. The results of the study indicate that although the Job Creation Law provides some legal protection for workers, many workers are concerned about work contracts and adequate compensation. To ensure that employees in Indonesia receive adequate protection, this study suggests that further evaluation is needed to ensure that the implementation of the Job Creation Law does not ignore the basic rights of workers, especially at PT Varia Usaha Beton.
