Abstract

Digitalization of da'wah communication as a new civilization in spreading the message of Islam in the era of technology is a necessity. Digitalization provides a great opportunity to expand the reach of da'wah, allowing religious messages to be delivered quickly and effectively through various digital platforms such as social media, instant messaging applications, and websites. With a qualitative approach, with descriptive delivery from data sources, this study analyzes the use of technology in da'wah, as well as its impact on public perception. The results of the study show that the digitalization of da'wah communication not only increases the interactivity between da'wah and audience, but also forms a new pattern in delivering religious information that is more inclusive and adaptive. This paper concludes that the digitalization of da'wah is part of a new civilization that enriches da'wah methods, although it still requires supervision of the potential for misuse of information and data hacking

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the marketing style of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan in the Medan City branch and its impact on increasing participation among informal workers. The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design, allowing the researcher to explore in-depth the marketing strategies implemented, responses from informal workers, and the obstacles faced. The results show that although BPJS Ketenagakerjaan has implemented various marketing strategies such as digital media usage and direct socialization, the participation rate among informal workers remains low. Contributing factors include a lack of understanding of the program's benefits, perceptions of contribution costs as an additional burden, and limited access to information technology. This research recommends a more adaptive and educational marketing approach to enhance awareness and participation among informal workers.

Abstract

This research focuses on the implementation of digital innovation at BPJS Ketenagakerjaan as a strategic step to enhance workers' welfare in Indonesia. BPJS Ketenagakerjaan plays a crucial role in providing comprehensive social security through programs such as Old Age Security (JHT), Work Accident Security (JKK), Pension Security (JP), Job Loss Security (JKP), and Death Security (JKM). To improve service efficiency, transparency, and accessibility, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan introduced the Jamsostek Mobile (JMO) application, which allows participants to access information, file claims, and manage their memberships online. The study reveals that digital innovation via  JMO significantly impacts the ease of access to services and time efficiency for users. However, the implementation of digitalization also faces several challenges, including low digital literacy, limited technological infrastructure in remote areas, technical issues within the application features, and regulatory barriers that do not fully support digital transformation. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature review, this research highlights the importance of enhancing digital education, strengthening technological infrastructure, and developing more inclusive application features. In conclusion, digital innovation at BPJS Ketenagakerjaan not only improves public service quality but also contributes to enhancing workers' welfare amidst evolving economic and social dynamics.

Abstract

Compliance behavior refers to an action or change in a person's attitude to accept, adhere to, and implement applicable rules/regulations with full awareness and without coercion. Compliance behavior in society, in relation to BP Jamsostek, is demonstrated by voluntarily becoming participants and paying contributions on time every month. This behavior benefits not only individuals but also the Indonesian people as a whole, as BP Jamsostek operates under the principle of mutual cooperation. The research method employed is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), with respondents being all Vulnerable Workers who have been or are currently participants of BP Jamsostek. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling. The research findings indicate that Perceived Usefulness directly influences Attitude and Perceived Value. Additionally, Perceived Usefulness, Subjective Norms, Behavioral Control, and Perceived Value directly affect Behavioral Intention, whereas Attitude does not directly influence Behavioral Intention. Indirectly, Perceived Usefulness through Attitude does not influence Behavioral Intention, but Perceived Usefulness through Perceived Value does influence Behavioral Intention. The implication of these findings is that BP Jamsostek needs to enhance communication regarding the benefits of participation, as Vulnerable Workers perceive the benefits they receive to be indirect, unlike BPJS Kesehatan.

Abstract

Various risks and uncertainties in the world of work become obstacles to workers' productivity in carrying out their duties. In this case, social security for workers acts as a form of protection for workers' social rights from various risks that may occur during the work period. This study aims to determine the role of local governments in cities and districts in implementing social security programs for workers and what challenges are faced in implementing the program. The type of research used in this study is normative legal research, namely a type of legal research methodology that bases its analysis on applicable laws and regulations that are relevant to the legal problems that are the focus of the research. In addition, this study also uses secondary data obtained from references in the form of journals, writings, websites, and other sources. The conclusion of this study is that local governments have a very important role in implementing social security for workers by linking central policies and implementation at the local level. This role includes socialization, regulation, supervision, provision of access, and infrastructure. So that synergy is needed between the central government, local governments, and various related parties to ensure that all workers can be protected by the social security program for workers.

Abstract

The high number of Partial Listed Companies (PDS) manipulating the number of employees, wages, and programs to avoid paying high social security contributions highlights companies' non-compliance with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan. Only 2.93% of workers in Indonesia were registered with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan in 2021, indicating low compliance among companies in participating in health and occupational safety assurance programs. The aim of this study is to describe the criminal risks faced by PDS in the BPJS Ketenagakerjaan program to highlight the sanctions against non-compliance in implementing social security programs. This research uses a qualitative approach with literature studies and normative juridical methods based on Law No. 14 of 2011 on the Social Security Administrative Body (BPJS). The results of the study show that PDS is an unlawful act due to non-compliance with the obligation to pay BPJS contributions. The types of PDS commonly carried out by companies include PDS of employees, PDS of wages, and PDS of programs. Criminal liability for PDS includes administrative sanctions, such as two written warnings within a maximum period of 30 days, administrative fines of 0.1% of total contributions, and restrictions on accessing certain public services (TMP2T), such as difficulties in obtaining business permits, participating in project tenders, hiring foreign workers, and obtaining building permits (IMB).

Abstract

Companies are required to register their employees with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan to provide social protection mandated by Law Number 24 of 2011. However, many companies fail to comply, prompting the government to impose administrative and criminal sanctions to enhance compliance. This study aims to analyze criminal provisions for companies not registered with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan and their impact on worker protection. Using a normative juridical research method, this study evaluates the effectiveness of Article 55 of the BPJS Law. The findings reveal that companies may face imprisonment of up to 8 years or fines up to IDR 1 billion. However, the implementation of these sanctions is hindered by vague norms, particularly in defining violation criteria and delayed payment durations. This legal uncertainty affects the effectiveness of worker protection. Therefore, regulatory improvements are necessary to enhance legal certainty and the effectiveness of sanction enforcement.

Abstract

This study examines the enforcement of legal sanctions against perpetrators of BPJS Employment contribution embezzlement, which undermines workers' rights and the stability of the social security system. The research employs normative juridical methods with a legislative approach, supported by secondary data from court decisions, books, and regulations. Findings indicate that the embezzlement of BPJS Employment contributions, regulated under Articles 374 and 64 of the Indonesian Penal Code, clearly constitutes a legal violation. Legal sanctions under Article 55 of Law Number 24 of 2011 prescribe a maximum penalty of 8 years imprisonment or a fine of IDR 1 billion. However, enforcement faces challenges, such as weak supervision and low legal awareness among offenders. This study recommends improving supervision mechanisms, imposing stricter sanctions, and providing legal education to employers.
