Abstract

This article analyzes the implementation of Indonesia's Job Loss Insurance Program (Jaminan Loss Kerja, JKP) for workers affected by employment termination in Sukabumi Regency and its relevance to legal certainty and legal justice. This study employs an empirical juridical method with a qualitative approach, drawing on literature review, observation, and interviews with labor officials, trade unions, companies, and workers. The findings show that JKP has a clear legal basis under Government Regulation Number 37 of 2021, yet its implementation remains uneven. Major obstacles include inconsistent layoff data, eligibility status, contribution periods, health insurance status, excluded categories of termination, digital access through the SIAPKerja platform, company compliance, and weak supervision. In Sukabumi Regency, workers who lose their jobs tend to access Old Age Security benefits more frequently than JKP, even though JKP is specifically designed as protection for workers affected by layoffs. This article argues that JKP remains strong as a normative right but has not fully materialized as an accessible social protection instrument. Strengthening data integration, simplifying eligibility requirements, providing digital assistance, improving company supervision, and aligning training programs with local labor market needs are essential to realizing legal certainty and justice for dismissed workers.
