Shift in The Characteristics of Certain Fixed-Term Work Agreements in Employment Contracts Post The Omnibuslaw Was Implemented in Indonesia

Abstract

Background: labor issues are very complex and protracted. Since the first law governing labor was established in 1887 until the latest regulations governing fixed-term work agreements (PKWT) which were inaugurated in 2021, this has not been a solution to the issue of labor violations. The fixed-term work agreement (PKWT) was replaced with new regulations which underwent many changes in content. Therefore, this research examines the challenges and opportunities of fixed-term work agreements implemented in Indonesia. Methods: This research method is a qualitative method with normative-descriptive analysis, based on identifying problems in the formal aspects of the substance of the Job Creation omnibus law, protection efforts, law enforcement and law enforcement. Result: There must be an institution whose role is to correct the rules for Fixed Term Work Agreements, so that there is a check and balance mechanism in government, so that legislative planning is not arbitrary in making regulations. Conclusion: Elaboration between stakeholders must be able to socialize the Job Creation Law and Government Regulations on Spesific Term Work Agreements, so that both can become part of efforts to restore the national economy, encourage economic transformation to be able to create jobs and protect workers' welfare.
