LEGAL IMPLICATIONS AND PROTECTION CERTAINTY ON PIECE WORK CONTRACTS IN INDONESIA

Abstrak

Piece work contracts are one type of employment relationship that is growing rapidly in Indonesia, especially as the business world's need for flexibility and production efficiency increases. The existence of a written agreement, the separation of supporting work from main activities, and the requirement for the contracting company to have legal entity status form the legal foundation for ensuring the rights and obligations of all parties. The legal implications of subcontracting contracts are strategically important in preventing labor exploitation while providing certainty for companies regarding the output produced. Every subcontracted worker continues to receive wage protection, compensation, and other labor rights, even if the employment relationship is terminated before the contract period ends. In addition, the labor inspection system plays a role in enforcing the implementation of contracts in accordance with regulations, as well as being a forum for settlement when disputes arise over rights or obligations. However, challenges remain, including socialization that has not been optimal. Through strengthening the legal certainty of piecework contracts, it is hoped that a harmonious, fair, and productive industrial relations atmosphere will be created.
