Perlindungan Hukum terhadap Pekerja Outsourcing Akibat Pemutusan Hubungan Kerja Sepihak oleh Perusahaan

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the legal protections for outsourced workers in the event that the firm unilaterally terminates their employment (PHK). Outsourcing is becoming more common in Indonesia, which puts workers at risk, especially when it comes to normative rights and job security. The types of legal protection offered to outsourced workers and the causes of unilateral termination of employment are among the topics covered in this study. Normative legal research using a regulatory and contextual approach is the research methodology employed. The findings demonstrate that normatively, rules and regulations have given outsourced workers protection, including the ability to address disputes arising from labor relations. However, in reality, this protection has not been ideal because of inadequate oversight, ambiguous employment ties, and employees' poor awareness of their rights. Therefore, to guarantee that outsourced workers are legally protected from unilateral termination of employment, more laws and more efficient law enforcement are required.
