Abstract

The study discusses the urgency of reconstructing the provisions on compensation in Fixed-Term Employment Agreement (PKWT) termination as regulated in Article 62 of Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower. These provisions are deemed unjust and lack legal certainty because they do not explain in detail the elements of compensation, do not determine the implementation mechanism, and have minimal sanctions for violations. In practice, PKWT workers are often the most disadvantaged parties when there is a unilateral termination of employment by employers. By using normative legal research methods and conceptual and legislative approaches, this study analyzes the weaknesses of Article 62 norms and proposes a new formulation that is fairer, more balanced, and implementable. The recommendations submitted include an explanation of compensation forms, payment procedures, administrative sanctions, and strengthening the mechanism for supervision and dispute resolution. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the renewal of labor law that supports the protection of the rights of contract workers.

Abstract

This study analyzes changes in wage arrangements for micro and small business workers/laborers in the latest regulations, including the Job Creation Law, PP No. 7 of 2021, and PP No. 51 of 2023, using a normative legal approach and John Rawls' distributive justice theory. The study results show that, although the regulation provides flexibility for employers, there are still gaps in injustice due to weak monitoring mechanisms and the low bargaining power of workers. This regulation does not completely fulfill the principle of distributive justice, so a policy reformulation is needed that better protects micro and small business workers/laborers, such as setting sector-based minimum wage standards and strengthening monitoring mechanisms and legal protection. The application of Rawls' principle of justice can be the basis for this reformulation.
