The results of the study concluded that the impact of intense business competition stemming from global economic developments made companies change their business management structure by reducing management control, one of which was by implementing the practice of using freelance workers for companies to reduce production costs. With the management of the use of freelance workers that has been going on, it does not guarantee the labor rights they should get, especially in terms of remuneration carried out by certain companies.
