Abstract

This normative research delves into the Pancasila legal system in Indonesia, evaluating its impact on the nation's moral values and the enforcement of law. Pancasila, embodying the core principles of Indonesian society, encompasses values such as divinity, humanity, unity, democracy, and justice. Despite its significance, the study argues that the Pancasila legal system has yet to manifest substantially in the fabric of national life. The research, employing literature review methodology, positions Pancasila as a philosophy guiding law enforcement, urging a reevaluation of legal systems rooted in the wisdom of societal values. The imperative lies in bridging the gap between legal certainty and substantive justice, fostering a legal framework that resonates with the cultural richness of Indonesian society. This research advocates for a critical examination of the legal system, rooted in indigenous wisdom, to better align it with the aspirations of the nation and its people. Highlights: Cultural Foundations: The research critically examines the Pancasila legal system, emphasizing its role as a crystallization of Indonesia's cultural values, including divinity, humanity, unity, democracy, and justice. Guiding Philosophy: Pancasila is positioned as a guiding philosophy for law enforcement, highlighting its potential to shape the ethical foundation and moral compass of legal practitioners in Indonesia. Call for Reevaluation: The study advocates for a reevaluation of the legal system, urging a return to indigenous wisdom and cultural values to bridge the gap between legal certainty and substantive justice in Indonesian society.

Abstract

This study examines the legal dilemma between workers’ rights to religious holiday allowances and enforcement challenges using a socio-legal approach integrating normative analysis and empirical data. Religious holiday allowances are mandated under Indonesia Government Regulation No. 36 of 2021 to guarantee workers’ wellbeing during religious festivities. However, enforcement remains problematic in East Java, leaving some gaps between legal provisions and implementation. Based on the data issued by East Java manpower and transmigration office, complaints rose from 23 cases (1,734 workers) in 2022 to 51 cases (5,666 workers) in 2023, then dipped to 27 cases (382 workers) in 2024. This figure climbed again to 36 cases (2,685 workers) in 2025. The 2023 spike and 2025 rebound highlight persistent systemic compliance issues within SMEs and the informal sector. Limited inspection resources, informal settlements, and low employer legal awareness continue to hinder enforcement. This study argues for strengthening institutional enforcement, monitoring systems, and legal literacy to improve religious holiday allowance compliance. This article contributes to labour rights enforcement discussions in Indonesia, illustrating tensions between legal ideals and practical realities within the labour system in Indonesia.
