Abstract

This paper aims to explain and evaluate the safeguarding of housemaids as a human rights issue, the types of legal safeguards available to them, and the establishment of oversight mechanisms governing the interaction between housemaids and their employers. The need for robust protection arises from the current absence of comprehensive legal frameworks in Indonesia to ensure their rights are upheld. In response, a Draft Bill concerning the Protection of Housemaids is under review as part of the 2023 National Legislation Program (Proglenas), and this paper aims to contribute to the legislative process. Using a normative juridical approach, the research finds that protecting housemaids is a critical step in fulfilling human rights, as acts of abuse and physical violence against them are severe violations. Legal safeguards for housemaids encompass preventive measures such as regulating recruitment processes, employment contracts, working hours, rest periods, leave, wages, overtime pay, and participation in health and work accident insurance programs. Additionally, employer-provided housing must meet health and safety standards. A human rights-based approach to managing work conditions is essential for fostering a harmonious relationship between housemaids and employers. Repressive protection includes mechanisms for resolving disputes, both through non-litigation and litigation methods. Effective legal oversight is vital, which can be conducted routinely by labor agencies and supplemented with online supervision tools, such as a complaint application. This application would allow housemaids and employers to submit complaints, integrated with supervisory staff at the labor department. The conclusion emphasizes that the legal protection of housemaids should be firmly rooted in human rights principles to ensure comprehensive and effective safeguards.

Government policies that limit community activities, workers serving Covid-19 may not work, complicate raw materials, reduce demand and other factors. This makes it difficult for business actors to provide workers' rights. Meanwhile, Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower does not regulate legal protection for the practice of laying off workers in emergency situations. The government only issued a Circular and Circular Letter Number M/3/Hk.04/III/2020 Year 2020. At One Of The Engineering Wood Producer Company In The Sarang Burung Village, Muaro Jambi pays 50%.

Hal ini menyebabkan pelaku usaha kesulitan dalam memberikan hak-hak pekerja. Sementara itu, Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan tidak mengatur mengenai perlindungan hukum praktik merumahkan pekerja di situasi darurat.

Abstract

This study examines the responsibility of notaries who receive notary protocols in relation to lawsuits concerning deeds made by the protocol-giving notary, as well as the form of legal protection available to the receiving notary. This topic is important because, in judicial practice, notaries who merely receive and store notary protocols are often involved as defendants or co-defendants in civil disputes over deeds they did not create, which results in legal uncertainty regarding the limits of notarial responsibility. This research uses a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The statutory approach analyzes provisions of the Notary Law governing authority, responsibility, and protocol transfer, while the conceptual approach refers to theories of legal responsibility and legal protection. The case approach examines court decisions involving notaries receiving protocols in disputes over notarial deeds. The results show that a notary receiving a protocol is not responsible for legal problems arising from the substance of the deed, as responsibility remains with the notary who drafted it. The receiving notary only bears administrative responsibility, limited to storing, maintaining, and providing access to the protocol in accordance with statutory provisions. Furthermore, legal protection for notaries receiving protocols is primarily repressive in nature through the right of refusal as stipulated in Article 16 paragraph (1) letter f of the Notary Law. This study contributes to notarial law literature by clarifying the boundary between administrative and substantive responsibility and reinforcing consistent judicial application of Article 65 of the Notary Law.
