Employment issues in Indonesia often involve complex and sensitive matters. Common issues clients face include disputes over:

• Termination of Employment: Navigating the legal requirements for layoffs and severance pay is a frequent challenge for both employers and employees.

• Fixed-Term Employment Contracts (PKWT): A lack of clarity on contract duration and the rights of fixed-term employees often leads to disputes.

• Wage and Overtime Disputes: Disagreements over minimum wage adherence, calculation of overtime, and holiday allowances are prevalent.

• Company Regulations and Collective Labor Agreements: Ensuring compliance with internal company rules and legally binding agreements is a key area of concern.

The legal framework for labor and employment in Indonesia is primarily governed by:

• Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower: This foundational law establishes the rights and obligations of both workers and employers.

• Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation (Omnibus Law): This landmark legislation introduced significant changes to the Manpower Law to simplify regulations and improve the business environment. Key changes include revised rules on fixed-term contracts, working hours, and severance pay.

• Law No. 2 of 2004 on Industrial Relations Dispute Settlement: This law provides the formal mechanism for resolving disputes between parties through mediation, conciliation, or a formal court process.

Our strategic and effective legal support is rooted in a deep analysis of how these key regulations apply to your unique situation. We don't just know the law; we understand its practical application. For employers, our team can audit and revise company regulations to ensure they are compliant with the Omnibus Law, minimizing the risk of future disputes.
