Legal Protection of Labor in Cases of Termination of Employment
Keywords:

This research discusses the legal protection of workers related to termination of employment (PHK) in Indonesia. With a focus on legal provisions, labor rights, and the impact of layoffs on their welfare, this research is conducted with a qualitative approach using case studies. The results show that the legal framework of layoffs in Indonesia has clearly mapped out the rights of workers, especially through Law Number 13 Year 2003 on Manpower. However, consistent implementation and good understanding of the provisions are still a challenge, giving rise to gaps in labor protection. Legal protection of labor in layoffs includes rights such as severance pay and long service awards, although there is room for further improvement. An in-depth analysis of the impact of layoffs highlights the importance of better understanding, consistent law enforcement, and policy changes where necessary. Research recommendations include increasing labor awareness, strengthening law enforcement, periodic evaluation of legal provisions, and involvement of third parties in PHK dispute resolution. This research is expected to contribute to a better understanding of the legal protection of labor in layoff situations in Indonesia. The proposed recommendations can be the basis for further improvements in the labor protection system in the country.
