Overview

Among the various legal frameworks that have been revised through the issuance of Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation (“UUCK”), the revision of various manpower-related regulations is being seen by the general public, including various labor unions, as highly controversial due to various UUCK-related issues that have now been identified. These issues range from employment terminations (Pemutusan Hubungan Kerja - “PHK”) to minimum wages, which many parties perceive to be a downgrade in comparison with the provisions that originally featured under the previous framework of Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower (“Law 13/2003”).^[1]
