Legal protection for contract workers in a Fixed-Term Employment Agreement (PKWT) is a major concern in the Indonesian labor system. Law Number 6 of 2023 on Job Creation regulates the provisions on PKWT with the aim of providing a balance between workers flexibility for companies and protection of contract workers' rights. This regulation includes rights to compensation, social security, as well as more detailed arrangements regarding contract time limits. However, in its implementation, there are still various challenges, such as weak supervision, companies' lack of understanding of the regulation, and the existence of practices that harm contract workers. This research uses a normative legal approach to analyze the effectiveness of this regulation to protect workers' rights. The results show that stricter supervision, increased socialization of workers' rights, and strengthening the role of trade unions are needed to ensure a more effective implementation of the regulation. With these steps, it is hoped that a more just and equitable employment system can be realized.
