essence of justice for workers/labourers as a result of the termination of employment relationships through Law No. 06 of 2023 on job creation and its derivatives

The enactment of the Job Creation Law aims to facilitate business and create investment to open up as many job opportunities as possible. However, with the enactment of the Job Creation Law, the opposite has happened, namely, an increase in unemployment and many cases of termination of employment, particularly in the industrial sector. As a result, the Job Creation Law is considered to have failed to protect the interests of workers/labourers. The Job Creation Law is also alleged to favour employers, one of which is by providing ease in terminating employment relationships with workers/labourers, as reflected in Article 151A paragraph (2). In addition to facilitating the termination of employment for workers/labourers, the Job Creation Law also has the potential to provide low compensation or severance pay, as regulated in the provisions of Government Regulation No. 35 of 2021 on PKWT. Through this study, the author focuses on the provision of compensation/severance pay due to the termination of employment for workers/labourers at a low cost.
